RE: Slow Fly Props Verus APC E- Props
Hi Oz
Thanks for the reply. What had me wondering about it, Was E-Flight recommends a 12x6 APC-E and what little research I have done.I read everyone is using the 12X6. Problem, when I run it in line with my amp meter it was pulling 36 amps at full Throttle and varying up to almost 38 amps I have the e-Flight Park 480 1020kv and I am using a 2100 3S Lipo Thunder power battery. The specs. on this motor is 22amps Continuous, 28amps Burst current. Seems to me if thier specs are right then the 12X6 prop would burn the motor up. That is why that I went down to the 11x5.5 prop. How can these people be using that prop. I Had one flight with the 12X6 and really liked it but then ran the tests.(I know I should have tested it before the first flight BUT JUST COULD'NT WAIT) and decided I didn't want a fried motor or one that only lasted a few flights. Guess these electrics will drive you a little crazy untill you figure them out! But I really like the no glow fuel mess. and don't think I will ever go back there. Guesss I just need to re learn a whole lot more about the subject. Happy flying and have a great day Thomas
