Sorry if this has been discussed, I tried to search but this forum is huge. I'm a noob so this is in reference to the beginner speed build kits which I've been using as templates.
It turns out that prop savers can't save props from straight nose dives. What's the most cost-effective prop setup you've used? Since this is for the standard FT beginner setup they're 8x4 props.
Basically, in two flight sessions I went through all four props that I bought. Naturally this my thumbs' fault, but I do wonder if a more durable prop would hold up better, or if I should just try to find the best deal on cheap props that I can find until I get over being awful.
At this point I'm writing propellers off as an educational expense. That said it's a cost I'd like to minimize.
Thanks!

- Generally: better to use sturdier props or lots of cheaper props?
- Any specific 8x4 prop recommendations?
