Prop Selection and battery life
Hey guys, just a bit of a query, I'm unfortunately commited to running my existing setup for the next F3a comp (next weekend), which is a 6S setup as stock in the MYTHOS 125e (hacker A60-6xs).
I'm finding that I'm running out of oomph, right when I need it, i.e. the knife edge half square loop on the corner.
I'm currently running a 19x12, and I see a lot of the 3d guys using 20x11's on the same motor.
The airframe is pretty draggy, with all its canalisers fences and fat trailing edges.
My question is should I expect a decrease in battery life, if I went for a 20x11? As it is I think I'm burning milliamps away by trying to fly too fast, but if I fly slow I'm in the air longer and run out of pep.
My thinking is that if I can fly on a prop that doesn't use as much wattage to fly at the same speed I could expect a little longer battery life.
Thoughts?
