Couple weeks ago I`ve been testing 3D Printed 6 inch propellers.
This was a technology demonstrator. The pitch is "whatever" - but close to 6" or more.
Which one is faster? Gemfan 6x6 (fligth starts at 2:07) or 3DPrinted 6x?? (fligth starts at 8:46)
I feel the 3D Printed set was considerably faster. It definitely drains much more power - approx 10A per motor vs Gemfan 8A per motor.
More iterations to come: CW/CCW, folding, 3/4 6 bladed designs etc.
What are your thoughts on this - let me know in the comments section below.
Mike built this RA Cores GremTwin RC plane and decided to test fly it on Sunday at the Tokoroa Airfield (NZTO) -- with the help of hundreds of flying-ant co-pilots and Neil on hand-launch
