What Props for heavy lift?

[ollieleven]

Hi Chaps just built a Vulcan frame X8 with Torqxpower 3536 motors same as the tiger mt2811 i think. i'm using DJI 30a ESC, Wookong M, it's pretty heavy with the Cinestar 2 axis gimbal a canon 550d and 2 x 4s 5000ma Lipos its around 5000g AUW.

I had some 11-5 Xoar props from and old multi but think i'll need bigger. any suggestions don't want to drop load cash on wrong props. Ecalc says i could go to 14inch. Is that good idea if so what pitch do i get? in guessing low pitch? Was going to go for Xoar again as really like them.

Thanks for your help

try APC 12" SF. I have had the best results from these "seemingly" flimsy props. they are much stronger than they look and very easy to balance. It is a constant battle that seems to vary from person to person location to location. I just got some apc thins and I really like the way they look. Super strong and similar to Graupners.

Is that these ones? http://www.kopterworx.com/props/APC-SlowFly-Prop-12x38-pair

Will the 12" give me much more lift than my 11"? also what is best pitch for heavy lifts?

Ps I do love the look of the Xoar wooden props though

Cheers
