    Flywoo 2306: goo.gl/xuLG6d
    I recommend the 1750kv for 6S and I recommend you go 6S
    Flywoo 2207: goo.gl/JTEXmb
    They tell me the gold is much harder to get and results in more imperfections. That's why it costs more.
    Great value motor: goo.gl/h5rofi
    This is my recommendation for the best value motor. Never mind the brand, this motor has all top specs for the lowest price I've seen. The only possible down spec is that I'm not sure if it's actually 7075 aluminum. Also, while the bearings still aren't the best, they are 9mm and will hold up well. I don't recommend the counter clockwise thread.
    Equipment I highly recommend:

    Hey Bob, great video. Just FYI. I have measured HQ props myself and confirmed with Zhong as well. HQ 5.1” props are, in fact, 5.1”. They are not 5” + 1mm. 1mm is only .039, and that wouldn’t make enough difference to matter.

    • @Kabab
      @Kabab  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I wasn't impressed with it. It's just a big heavy prop that motors often struggle to spin. They feel like 7" props but are 5.2". Maybe it was just the two quads I tried them on but I wasn't impressed.

  • @tehllama42
    @tehllama42 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    At low feedforward values, there are probably areas in fast recoveries where the FF and D terms are both functioning as damping terms, and that might be what you're experiencing with that. I think the over-smoothed nature of my older 0/0 D-Setpoint/Transition range can force some extra smoothness as well, although as you mentioned there is a cost to responsiveness contained in there.
    I really think there is a use for 2306 motors because of that big hump of torque down low, especially with lower pitch stuff on low weight quads - but I still can't get past how much I love the ultra-linear nature of 2207/2208's with V2 Cyclones

    After watching this video these motors are make by iFlight. or at their factory. the base is the same and they have the O ring (thats awsome) the shafts look the same and they have the conical shape to them. I love how you don't have to guess tension on the bottom bell screw. I thought that when I saw that O ring when the Xings were shown apart online, that you could crank down on the screw without issue.

    • @Kabab
      @Kabab  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The O ring is a surprisingly great upgrade. I have to agree. The screw doesn't even need locktite or anything. I'm not sure it's made by iflight. As far as I know it's not.

      There are differences but they're minor. Usually the clear colors are a little stiffer and a little more durable. The difference is the color parts. It kinda contaminates the actual plastic

    I've been looking at yours and others views on various props because I was on my last set that came with my Hawk 5, but there's just too many and too many opinions, so I took the easy route and received 5 more sets of Avan Flow's in the post today because I know they work well, just in time for the calmer weather next week :)

    • @Kabab
      @Kabab  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Any prop from the last year will work well. You don't need to worry about that. I personally am not a fan of the Avan Flow. I feel it's inefficient and slow. Any of the HQ props will perform better to me and give longer flights.

    • @licensetodrive9930

      I've been consistently getting over 3.5 mins from the Hawk 5 with the Avan Flows, running 1300mAh packs with a sport cam on top doing lots of fast maneuvers.

    • @Kabab
      @Kabab  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think this new gemfan 5146.6 is probably my most prefered prop on either 2208 or 2306. Other good props are the T5143, S3 however tht S3 is a bit slow and HQ 5.1x4.1x3

    • @tehllama42
      @tehllama42 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can get away with running fairly low KV on 4S, especially with 2208 stators. Unfortunately, the only iFlight 2208's in 2150KV are the older Tachyons, which are kinda heavy.

    Too many comments to go through them all and see if it was explained already, but I felt the same characteristics on the 2306 vs 2207 motors. (I haven’t tried anything else)
    My theory is that 2306s motors spool up quicker than 2207s at least that’s what I noticed, so that wobble you find on 2207s and not on 2306s after letting off the throttle and pitching forward is due to the motor not being able to spoil fast enough to lock in attitude if that makes sense. I suck at explaining things

    • @Kabab

    About that Roboticness with FW...I've recently experimented with the current limiting on BlHeli32. If I set it to a little lower value like 45-60amps it really smooths out the movements of my kwad. I played with this value until I felt like it was a good mix between smothness and response.

  • @tehllama42
    @tehllama42 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    On paper, nylon-polycarbonate composites should make it actually tougher (depending on which resin or butyl-styrene binder is used), so the MasterProp material sounds awesome. To me, a lighter version of the 5149 is probably absolutely perfect for what I'm after - just depends on how linear the thrust delivery is. I think stiffer probably trumps lightweight with big powerful motors, although the lighter 2306's seem to really enjoy low weight props and get that amazing wispy feel consistently.

    • @Kabab
      @Kabab  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Kabab Well, I find myself in agreement again. Definitely go-to status, only omission is POPO compatibility on these.
      The mixture of smoothness and grip these achieve with tall stator motors is really excellent, as long as there's some torque in the bank these things are just amazing. On motors with less torque, I'm starting to prefer running really high KV and lower pitch lightweight props (Ethix S3 and HQ 5.1x3.6x3 are impressive) to get a locked in feel that's similar... although that setup has me running some outright absurd combos like 6S 2250KV 2205 on low pitch to get the feel comparably decent to where my favorite vanilla 4S 2207 2550KV setup is with these props.

      @SCFPV 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Back before everyone started using ny-loc nuts to secure their propellers, they used clockwise and counterclockwise motor threads, (Instead of all CCW motors with CW threads like the majority of manufacturers make today) to keep the prop nuts & props from spinning themselves off. The clockwise motors were more prone to spinning the nut off because it turns in the same direction as the nut tightens. Nowadays with the use of ny-loc nuts, there's no need for counterclockwise threads, but alot of the real cheap motors are still sold with both CW & CCW threads.

      I don't like any of the HD goggles optics including the HDO. They have extremely blurry edges. The dom V3 was the last pair that actually had optics that were acceptable. I would prefer a 4:3 screen but I'm totally fine with the wide screen. In fact it's gotten to the point where i prefer a 4:3 camera on the 16:9 screen which is weird to me. I'm waiting on the Orca goggles and hoping they'll have good optics and a good screen.

      typically most people hugely dislike counter clockwise threads. Props really don't come loose if you tighten them and use a locknut. You need to hit a lotta stuff usually if the top of the motor bell is properly designed with good grip on it. The issue with CCW is that if you loose a nut, you're screwed. CCW nuts are a pain to source and annoying to carry. But some still prefer never having props come loose. Oh yeah you also need to install your motors a certain way and have spars that are the correct direction...yuck. Too much complexity

Don't look at any spec sheet from any company. It's completely useless. For one thing, the reason why this motor looks less efficient than some others is because it's a well made motor which means it can generate more torque and get up to higher RPMs under static load. That doesn't mean more thrust due to thrust dynamics in a static environment that isn't defined. As a result it pulls more amps and looks less efficient. Forget all manufacturer thrust charts entirely. They are 100% useless. Especially when there is nothing to compare them against

      Mqtb doesn't do Kv measurements properly as far as I can tell. They measure unloaded rpm/V. But Kv is rpm required to produce 1V back emf.
      That's why you never get the right rpm if you multiply Kv with your supply voltage ... because that's not what Kv tells you.
      Now the manufacturer data may be rounded. That will introduce inaccuracies, but those are quantifiable and they are nowhere near allowing this motor to be highly efficient at high throttle, 6s with that prop.
      Mqtb also said that their other numbers are not accurate in an absolute sense.

Kids don't develop the dexterity to properly brush until age 7 or so. So let them brush and then you finish it up. At least just scrub each surface for a moment in there.
