Default RE: Carbon E props, what’s your experience?
I have an Integral that was flying with a APC 20x15 and a APC 21x14, I switched in a Rasa 21x16 folding prop. It drew roughly the same current but the performance was distinctly better in the verticals. I like the folding props, it seems to me that they maintain the line in a snap better, maybe due to the fact that they can displace slightly during the rapid autorotation?
Figures recorded (with the same battery packs, new Rhino) were:
APC 21x14 39.2V/69.7A/2735W/5865RPM
APC 20x15 39.1V/70.5A/2750W/5980RPM
Rasa 21x16 fold 38.9V/71.0V/2758W/6075RPM
