WELL , I have the lightwood , 13x6 prop on it , i also have a APC 13X6.5e prop , which sounds quieter , i also have a 12x10e APC and a 12x8e APC . SO PLENTY OF CHOICES . the 13x8 had massive thrust though , just peaked over 100 amps , so a little too high .
the 13x6 higher rpm and will hold its weight at 50% throttle . the 12" props i havent tried as yet , i dont think a 12 x10 prop will draw less amps than a 13 x6 , and the 12x8e i dont know , maybe a racer prop . it will start with the 13x6 , and we'll take it from there .
really loving the input guys . learning a lot . and great to see different perspectives . it will be interesting to see a comparison between my 700kv motor with 13 inch prop versus jasons 600kv with 15 inch prop , similar plane . if anything . theres another mix of theory to put into practice .
once you go bigger though as in 60 size motors . kv drops to around 270 rpv . big difference
really surprised we dont have 60 size motors with 300 to 700 kv .( wierd)
WHAT GEARS RUNNING IN THE SUKHOI GAZ . AND WHATS IN YOUR BIG PLANE JASON ?
