Default RE: Static vs Flight Current Draw

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Ok, here is some data. My measured numbers are lower, comparing static to static, and of course I can&rsquo;t really compare in-flight since I don&rsquo;t have an onboard data logger. I&rsquo;ve done some other motors and the results are typical. I am no so concerned with the absolute difference; they aren&rsquo;t actually that large, at least for the static case. But if you look at what happens as the airspeed goes up there is a big difference in current draw according to MotoCalc. If there is a significant current drop in the air I could prop up to increase performance. I would expect a RPM increase as the motor unloads as glow engines do.</div>Or maybe a couple of amps is not significant, Like I said I am new to electrics
