TREX-500 with 500mm-550mm BLADES
Hi,
I am using my TREX-500 mostly in hovering mode for aerial photography and I am wondering if anybody has an experience running 500mm, 515mm or 550mm blades on TREX-500 ?
In a hovering mode with 430mm blades I measured power consumption as 265W (Flying weight is 1965gr) with standard setup.
It is sucking only 12.3A at 24,V setup (6S 2600mAh Tunder Power v2).
Look like standard setup may run 500mm blades pretty well.
Anyone experience wellcome for share.
Thank you,
Andrew K.
