RE: Plettenberg Advance 30-10 Inrunner Test Data!
When you think about it, doesn't it make sense that the prop that exhibits better down line breaking also consumes more power?

RE: Plettenberg Advance 30-10 Inrunner Test Data!
Of course, but now you're talking about two completely different props. I'm talking about props that have the same pitch and diameter. The one that consumes more power probably has more blade area and it probably breaks better too.
ORIGINAL: Magne
Generally a low pitch propeller will give better braking, while a high pitch propeller will consume more power.

Mike,
I've found the same thing as Chad...the Falcon 21x14 has less breaking than the APC 21x14. I have another 21x14 that is slightly wider chord, and it does (predictably) offer slightly more downline breaking, but the peak amps / RPM are only marginally higher.
And, I've found the static amps on the Falcon to be relatively high compared to other 21x14s, but it is the lowest in the air, and generally the least mah used per flight. Very small differences in props can show up in many different ways.....not all of them predictable.
Regards,

Gents,
A couple more flights today, this time I flew the APC and RASA 20.5x14 props as these are both very popular.
Both props flew real nice, RPM measured on both was 6400. I think you get a little more power and speed out of the RASA but it pulls a couple more amps as well. Both props seemed to have very good braking on their own.
Both are very quiet and very low amp draw as you can see, both flights were P-11 flown in a similar style to all my other flights!

Anthony, come out to our judging seminar on the 26th and you can fly my Jupiter that has a Plettenberg Advance-30 in it now. I have 5 flights on it now and am very impressed and happy. I will add some Eagle Tree data next time if I remember to bring it out.

RE: Plettenberg Advance 30-10 Inrunner Test Data!
hi everybody
thx for this tread, very interesting!
running the evo 30-10 myself.
i m in process of building a ef extra78 and wondering wheater putting another evo or the advance inside.
the advance seems to be clearly the better motor, but is itbetter for 3d as well? i mean you guys fly it all withf3a planes.
what you think?
thx, urs

Mounts are in and look great. Anodized alum and complete hardware package. Thanks again to Chad for doing the design work. Everything fits the Plettenberg Advance-30 motor perfectly.

RE: Plettenberg Advance 30-10 Inrunner Test Data!
I am just wondering why you would need a back support. I will fly it with the RASA prop which will allow the prop to move a bit. In theory this would reduce the momentum on the motor axis. Any thoughts from you guys on this?

Hi Volkert,
For making the installation as rigid as possible it is much better to have the motor fixed at both ends rather than cantilever it off the front of the model.
Possibly with the folding props, it would not be an issue, but not everyone uses folding props all the time, so it needs to work for any situation.

did order the advance today...the pletti-girl told me it takes two month, they have a lot of backorders and its getting worse and worse.
so hurry up getting on the waiting list!

Will there be variations of this mount made to accomate mounting the motor in front of a motorbox with standoff tubes?

good question tho98027, i m looking for the excactely the same thing!!
another question, could the advance be running by 11s with the rasa 22x10?

RE: Plettenberg Advance 30-10 Inrunner Test Data!
Too bad plettenberg just didn't tap the rear of the motor so an an x-mount can bolt up to it similar to an out-runner. Or just make the output shaft on both ends of the motor.
