3.5" vs 3" Propeller Performance and Efficiency testing on 3" hardware (1404 Stator)

The goal these tests and analysis done in this video is to determine if 3.5" drone propellers can and should be used on 3" drone hardware (1404 motors), without having to add additional weight. I will test 3 different 3.5" propellers against one and other, and also against performant and efficient 3" propellers.

The propellers tested in this video:
3.5"
Gemfan Hurricane 3520-3
Emax Avan Scimitar 3.5x2.8x3
HQProp T3.5x2x3-PC
3"
Gemfan 3035BN-PC
HQProp T3x3x3-PC

Motors used in this video:
T-Motor F1404 3800kv
Brotherhobby VY 1504.5 3950kv
