I tried getting a smaller folding prop today from Ultimate Hobbies but no luck. I do have smaller 5x5 and a 6x4 left over from my floater jet. I was just really bored with it as standard... (and I had this motor lying around)
Original motor was suprisingly small. Larger prop will create more torque which may make harder to control. I'll bring my smaller props down to the field and see what happens. If the wings flutter and fly off, I just hope there's enough witnesses down at the field to make it worth while :-)
In fact I'll set it up with one of the smaller props, standard prop I know will draw too many Amps if not fly apart as the whole piece is made from plastic.
>> Remember its only a kinetic not a speedster glider, its not design to cope with high speed
I just want something that penetrate wind so I can take on holidays and fly at the beach, off cliffs.
