RE: denight special
You need to be able to measure the voltage & current at full throttle (watt meter), the prop RPM at full throttle (tacho) and also the KV rating of the motor being used. If we know these stats we might be able to point you in the right direction.
Just had a look at flying weight of the model on the h9 website and they quote 7lbs, so to give you a 1:1 thrust ratio needed for good performance on a 13X6 or 13X8 prop you need to be getting a prop speed of 10,000 RPM as a starting point. Hope this helps.
Don't know why they've gone for a 4S set-up, 6S is far more efficient!
