Hi, I'm looking to make my first quadcopter but I'm new to the subject. I want to make a quadcopter that will be used primarily indoors and will be built for control rather than speed. So simple acrobatics and hovering are the primary goals for it. Could you suggest a type of propeller that...

So i was into drones about 1.5 years ago and decided to build myself one to try out however, it never really worked as well as i wanted and didn't have features i probably just assumed were standard like altitude hold and return to home. so i planned an upgrade using a SPracing F3 (which i later...
