One of my biggest problems with a scale 3 blader would be the cost. I honestly break too many props to justify the cost. It bothers me enough breaking the $25 ones!

I hear you! I've gotten pretty confident as I haven't had a prop strike in over a year, so the cost isn't scaring me right now, but I've probably just jinxed myself!
And, yes, keeping it mostly hidden is very important to me!
