Re: Prop

Well you would need a smaller prop and it would be spinning like a little bee!

Remember what is happening is that the motor is spinning the current prop so fast that a large part of the blade is fully stalled.

You could probably drop the existing prop diameter about 1" or more and also the prop pitch by a number or two.

This would increase the efficiency.

Frankly that motor is better suited to a gear drive with a 2:1 reduction.

If you did that you could run the same or a larger prop to give you more thrust.

Post a picture of how you have it mounted if you can.

It may be possible to use an in-line gear drive depending upon the mount.
