I replaced it with a Masterairscrew 13 x 8 3 blade. Static tests have the new prop only drawing 2 more amps than the stocker was on 4S, I am however using maximum throttle in short bursts, but now it flies as fast on 5S at half throttle as it did at full throttle on the standard setup. Vertical performance is awseome!

Just 2 more Amps but the watts have gone up by more than 25%
and you've probably got an efficiency gain of a few % by using a better prop, thrown into the bargain!!
