Stellaship's Venturi Evo

Looks very nice. It would be interesting to see the difference in efficiency (if any) between the graupner prop and an APC. Also, I would suggest covering over the holes on the tops of the cameras. There was a noticeable difference in flight performance and handling when I plugged the holes on mine.

Also good to see a Hacker motor, quite unusual now in the world of cheaper HK stuff. I've got an A50-16S in my Sebart Wind 50 and it's pretty good, but I do wonder if they're worth the price still. The quality is still hardly on par with Axi.

Haven't really thought about duration, beyond thinking I'll get about 20 minutes of fun based on others I've seen. Only the brief maiden flight so far, will need a few more flights to get some numbers.
Its an Aeronaut prop, wanted a graupner e prop but they were out of stock when I ordered. I'm interested to see how the Hacker motor performs - be interesting to see if I'm just funding the marketing department!
Good point on the camera holes, cover is in the works I believe.

I used the Aeronaut Cam prop on my last Venturi, TBH I've tried them all, Aeronaut, Graupner and APC-E. I always fall back to the APC in the end because they just work and are as strong as you can get. I've seen pretty much no performance benefits between them in the long runs Brucey and I do when he's always flown on the APC-E.

On my latest Venturi I run a 9x7 on a Scorpion 1100kv motor.

Same here, tried all sorts and sizes and ended up with APC-e props, they are just tough as old boots and I've not broken one yet (although I've tried hhehehhe), my only criticism is they all need balancing on both the blades and hub, 5-10mins and you're set.
The Z2 had x2 5000mAh 3s batteries and would get an hour with ease milling around at the same att, 1/2hr of proper play time, should be around that mark I'd have though?

I can confirm that Stellaship's Venturi Evo is not under powered, bat-out-of-hell...

Good to hear!

Pimped with new stickers and natty FPV camera cover very kindly provided by iPeel.
Not flown it for a while and fiddled with the flight controller since last time. Between that and it looking smart expect there's a high probability of stoving it in tomorrow morning!

Looks smart

All good with the flights.
Not sure if I'm convinced about the orange design, but in recognition of the fact that iPeel put time into making it for me I'm going to decide that I do!

Issue I do have is that I'm not happy with the video. Breaks up far too much for my liking. And that's close in, haven't ventured further afield yet due to lack of confidence in it. Running TBS 2.4GHz VTx with the stock antennas and can't remember who made the module I'm using in the goggles. Not sure if it's just that I'm banking around close in and it will actually be fine when I get further out or if I've got an issue somewhere. Need to do some testing.
