    Zhong (owner of HQ) confirms my conclusion that this prop is designed for racing. Specifically indoor racing. INDOOR RACING 5" QUADS???? Okay apparently it's a thing. The durability and cornering are great for tight environments and the slightly lower top end doesn't really matter because you seldom top out in doors anyway.

    • @SKIDOOSH
      @SKIDOOSH 5 лет назад +7

      I was just going to say...the tight indoor tracks we race here in China are PERFECT!! for that prop!!! We need tight maneuverability and control over top speeds.

      I prefer 4 blade over 3 blade indoors for 5 inch, tighter spaces ask for tighter cornering :).

      So what’s with the stubby instead of patch on goggles? I’m not finding any info. Tried it out with the menace Stubbs we got in the quadbox this month. But it’s dumping snow and I only was within a 100yd. I was in house. Too got good reception.. learn me please🤓

    @Bexamous 5 лет назад +1

    I actually really liked Lumenier's 5x3.7x4 prop... it was light weight, but just barely stiff enough to not flatten out at higher rpm... was decently fast.. but mostly just felt like a quadblade without all the typical downsides of quadblades, or not quite as bad as typical. Also really like seeing 4.8" size.. I remember a year ago ranting about how did 5" become some magical number.. why not 5.1 or 4.9. I like seeing seeing other diameters being tried... well we'e had some 5.1-5.2" props but now nice to see the other side. My biggest complaint with Lumenier was really that they only made it in black. I had gotten some white prototypes but after they got bent I didn't wnat to fly all black props.

    I reckon you looked smoother n way more swing with the 4 blades .. I'd say there aimed for bigger motors that need say a 6 inch prop but want to fit them in a 5 inch frame to make the most of them... more blades give more thrust but need the extra power to be able to turn it at the same rpm ... say a 7 inch 2 blade may be the same surface as a 5 inch 4 blade but now it's smoother but same power and smaller ... would like to see them on some 2608 motors 2250kv on 6s and see what they do

      @nara4420 5 лет назад

      I don't think so. On my ultralight a tri-blade is very quiet compared against a bi-blade-prop, and the bi-blade is a more low-frequent sound. I'd expect the 4-blade is a higher and smoother sound and quieter because there is less weight and less pressure on each of the blades, but the difference here was not that clear as i thought.
