Had a brief flirt with a 10x6 prop on a 950kv motor and it worked, but the motor was too heavy given the distance it was up in the air, and every time I turned it wanted to fall - it acted as a lever which would attempt to invert the plane :o



So that was that :) Back to 6x4 and high Kv

Nice Steve :) You must fit pan to the Fpv cam to get the cow wings in flight ;)
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

FPVSteve
