Default RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread

For all those experts still listening can you speak up on your experience with props and their relation to power usage. I seem to be using more power than necessary as I keep having to put 3600 mAh back into the packs after 7 minutes.

I bought my Integral with a 21x14, but that seems to pull a lot of mAh. I tried a 20x15, but that pulled even more. Now I bought a 20.5x14 to try as well.


My concerns are:

1) Slow downlines.
2) Power efficiency (i.e. increasing practice time per battery).

Has anyone ever tried a 21x13W?

What are your experiences? What criteria are folks using in their prop selection?
