Well, that was the best days flying I've had for a long time. Put nine flights in on the Allure six of which were with 22" props. Because the model had been flown for so long with 20" props the difference was stark! The gear ratio was left the same at 9.89:1 and the lowest consumption for a P15 schedule flown big was 2601mA. I should never have doubted others claiming this sort of efficiency! These figures are achievable even in the wind. Overall, the model now flys a bit slower but surprisingly doesn't get all waffly. I found that no more than half to two thirds throttle was needed as well. I think the bigger props even improved the horizontal rolling manoeuvres. The three of six in opposite seemed noticeably easier.

I was asked about my throttle curve elsewhere so a picture is attached. The way I adjust my end points is probably a little different to most whereby I do it by ear. :-)


Cheers,
Jason.
