    S800 alternative props

    To all those who bought a set of adapters many thanks and they are now winging their way to you. I also thew-in some extra nuts and screws. It is going to be exiting to see what you guys can come up with in terms of alternative props. Right now APC and Graupner E's are looking good. To those...

    S800 alternative props

    Rob I did a lot of testing with around twenty different props. As a general rule max.lift is about absorbing the available power into the max. swept area i.e. prop.dia. which in turn means low pitch angles.(APC's) however in the real world the best lifters don't always fly that well. Low KV...

    S800 alternative props

    I just bought a set from electricwingman... I believe the thing that one needs to consider is that it's not just about lift efficiency. Sometimes it may be better to loose some to gain stability, agility or less vibration.

    S800 alternative props

    I only have one so I cant fly it, It seems very noisy which is not a good sign. I have always found the high aspect ratio blades are not as good as low aspect ratio blades with less pitch angle. I guess you will have to be the one to go try them on a S800 and be the first.... Those props are not...

    S800 alternative props

    Only two sets left now so guess I must make a few more. As you can see the set comes with a nice fitting washer and nylock nut plus proper cap head HT screws and not those crappy DJI ones that you can use once if you are lucky. Hi grade aircraft grade alum. but don't forget a little light...

    S800 alternative props

    That is a good point, I checked some just now and the tracking is not good. The problem with wet layup carbon blades is that the resin is not stable. Heat from the motors will cause em to bend..... Autoclaved carbon is the way to go but its just far too expensive.

    S800 alternative props

    Sr blades for a flybarless head do have some flexibility built into the design which is adjusted with some different softness O rings. I am starting to think that maybe the DJI carbon blades are too stiff and too thin in section. That noise is coming from somewhere.

    S800 alternative props

    Thats very true. I know that they don't like me talking about how the zen works. They have kept me waiting for six weeks for the return of my Zen brackets so I don't figure too highly in the order of things.

    S800 alternative props

    I did not have time to check prop balance today so they are straight from the packet. I did not see any movement in the arms like I saw with the carbon blades. I am starting to think that although the carbon are lighter by almost 10 grams I think they are flexing too much or too little and this...

    S800 alternative props

    David Yes I will sell some, but they were made in Cyp. not China so each set is in the order of 50 euro (set of six.) High grade aircraft alum. I wont be upset if anyone copies the idea.

    Thanks, I don't need em yet but I think they might be a good idea. At least when I sell a model it looks like I tried.

    S800 alternative props

    No load at all, I took off the Zen just in case. I only discharged the battery to 3.7 volts per cell so I could have gone a lot longer. The model was working overtime in the high turbulence but it could still hold a GPS lock hands off for that time. The ESC's were barely warm. I am still...

    S800 alternative props

    A few weeks ago I made ten sets of conversion adapters to fit non dedicated props to the S800. Mainly because spares were like gold dust. As the wind was really ripping today I thought lets try em. when I got to the beach I thought no way. The model was swaying about on the ground and the...

    uuuu uhhh UHHH----------GOOB!

    I have seen a prepoduction GH3 on a Zen somewhere. It needs a special top frame and some other parts. They are on it already As always the danger of selling DIY parts is that it is all too easy to screw up and then blame DJI

    Really dodgy WKM power cable

    I have a Naza V-sen unit from Geoff that had a different problem My naza was all over the place and I just could not dial it in then I found that it was due to severe electrical noise coming from the unit. I bought another one and it is now fine.
