Yeah, I suppose that's true. However I've seen a number of home built models where the edges are sharp. They still look good. Your eye for detail is correct on the real prop they should be rounded.

That may be overstating it a bit. I've been mentoring high schools in a program called FIRST. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering, but I don't do much with it for work. Robotics is really a hobb ... |

What if I get these?
Here's some easier to understand specs:
