Zippi...did you maiden the Caelus yet? I have a Falcon 19.5X13 on order. I did try a Falcon 19x13.5 this past Wednesday, and I liked it. Nice speed control, especially on the down lines. Prop had a much nicer sound than the PT 22x12 I have on there now. The static max amps were at 93...so I will have to watch my throttle or drop the end point to a safe point. Keep us posted.

Hi guys,
I'm interested in trying a 3B prop and the 19.5x13 sounds like a good option but I have one small problem that is holding me back. I fly a Krill spark dynamic and I'm finding it hard to source a 3B spinner that will fit my plane. Its 65mm in diameter and 45mm long. If anyone knows where I can find one can you please let me know? Thanks.

So I’ve finally managed to get a three blade prop and I have put around fifty flights on it now. I’m using a Falcon 19.5x13 V2 and so far I love it! I was originally using a Falcon 21.5x13.5 and it was good but I was having trouble trying to achieve a constant downline speed. With the 3B I found it much easier to manage the downline speed. In fact I probably need to adjust the ESC brake and reduce it a little.
Battery consumption has gone up a little by around 200mAh. For the Australian Expert sequence (Advanced A-16), I use between 2800-2900mAh. In windy conditions maybe a little more. Another interesting note about the 3B is the noise or lack of. I thought the two blade was quiet this has taken it to another level.
