I have started working on a custom DPV.
I would like to make custom carbon blades but I also would like to make my DPV to be compatible to commercial blades.

Is there anybody here who have dive-xtras, bonex, seacraft, carbon- scooter or suex and could measure some basic dimensions of the blades.

Or might have a broken one that is not necessary anymore..


Thank you in advance.
 
I dont have what you are looking for, but i would love to see your process/progress. I'm considering building one too.

Did you finish yet? I am also considering building one.
 
I have not started it yet. :( I did not have time.
But I do not think it is too complicated.
The electrical motor is the most interesting part of it.
You will need a low kv, high torque bldc motor. It is not easy to find. You will might need a gearbox.
A stepper motor could be another solution but they are quite heavy and not too strong.

I did not find any used, broken propeller to use it as a reference, so I designed an own propeller and one blade was printed out to make a mold for the carbon props, but the project stopped that phase.
