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.
This model airplane is a trainer, an evolution of the project we made some time ago, the Joytrainer, that airplane was big and cool, it was based on the Simple Storch by Flitetest, some people...
