I'd like to stay with the motors I've got any suggestions.
When I few my Sequence on 6s, I tried a number of different props.
The best one I used was a Falcon carbon 16X10.
This gave me the best amp draw vs. performance that I could find for competition.
Anything bigger drew too much current, especially during the summer months here in Texas.
While the plane flew well and I could do all the maneuvers, I was definitely at a disadvantage with a 6s system.
At Big_Gs suggestion I went to 8s. OMG what a difference!
Now I have a truly competitive airplane. I fly both the intermediate and advanced routines with this setup.
Think about it, the Sequence is almost a 2-meter plane.
If you want a Falcon 16X10 prop with covers, I’ll make you a deal...
