Quadcopter More Experiments With Props

What we have learnt about quadcopters and props:

- Experiment with props to find the ones that suit the quad the best

- These grey APC 10x4.7” props suit the quad better than the three bladed GWS 9050 we were using. The APS 10x4.7” props provide more lift, more stability and better handling response (the rudder was poor with the GWS). The motor KV/power, frame size and total weight and everything else all effect what size prop will best suit

- Props must be properly mounted and this can be painful. Prop adaptors, motor shafts and the hub of props must all be matched up to fit properly. This is probably where we have had problems before with other props. It doesn’t matter how well props are balanced if they are not mounted properly

- It almost goes without saying- balance the props

- Carry spare props: we have had some pretty major crashes with our quads and the parts we have broken the most are the props. Remember you’ll need pushers and pullers (or CW and CCW) as spares
