Best prop for Axi 2826/12

Your lipo's cell count and the max continious current that your ESC can provide is important at this point. And ofcourse, your AUW is another factor here.
I assume you ESC can provide 30A max. continious and your Lipo is 4S.
In this case, you max prop size could be 14x4 (but you need a discharge rate around 40C with your Lipo).

For evaluating the prop/motor combos, xcalc is a very invaluable tool:

Using it for the first is a bit confusing but I recommend you to look at jes111's posts. Basically, select the "without Drive" option and just enter the weight of your frame (without motors etc. ) Select the motor cooling as excellent.
Another thing that you should carefully look into is the "throttle linearity". When the throttle linearity is over %70 (you can think throttle linearity as throttle stick position), you won't have enough power to make sudden ascends. So, try to get the throttle linearity around %50-%60 max. You will be more comfortable and "back-up" power incase you need it.

Thanks for your reply.
I will be using 2x4S 5000mAh packs along with the Hobbywing 40A ESCs. I am hoping to be able to do an AUW of around 6-6,5 kgs. I was looking at maybe using the APC 13x6,5. With these props, at an AUW or 6,5 kgs, I get the throttle position around 60% in a hover and a flight time of about 6 minutes. Looks like the 14x4 would perform about the same.
I will be using the WooKong-M. Has anyone flown a similar set-up with the WooKong? If so, what props?
Thanks again,
Jesper
