Propping Up Your RC Airplane, More Power/Less Voltage - Model AV8R Tips Series

6s Plane on 4s With Real Power? YES! In Model AV8R episode 157, we offer the latest in our Model AV8R Tips series - Propping Up! There are many "Dual Voltage" planes available today...the most common ones will be rated for 4s/3s or 6s/4s. We are often asked how you determine what prop to go with on the lower of the two battery/voltage options that will give you more power than the stock prop...which is always optimized for the higher voltage batteries. Many modelers don't have the higher voltage packs, so we get it. In this tips episode, we'll show you how to figure that out with our Super Timber. We find a prop that gives us very good performance on 4s! Enjoy and check out the links below.
