Shane, you are the man! Thank you for sharing this information. You have put a lot work into experimenting with the Aeroscout and have shared your knowledge. Thank you.
Well, with your tip about removing the plastic spacer, I was able to drill out the micro Draco prop and use the stock nut for test. It may have more thrust on a static pull, but it sure does fly a lot slower.
Thought it might. Next time out I'll get GPS speed and climb rate values. In my previous test video description there is a link to a spreadsheet with all the latest test data as well as new test props coming up. Still have data to fill in and have a bunch more props on the way from Master Airscrew.
Finally got my new Master 3 Blade prop, but was bummed when I realized it would not work with stock nut...then you came through with the good tip on the spacer. I even poked that a part thinking it was maybe a spacer, should have put on the glasses. Thanks for the tip! Ordered some CCW 5mm nuts also.
Glad you noticed that! I actually thought the spacer was part of the motor as well until someone tipped me off so figured I had to share the info. Hope you like the prop, I sure do. Haven't found another that beats it for climb rate yet...and I've tested a lot!
@@ScottPDX It's a really high RPM motor, not much you can do to tame that sound. Watch the video where I played with the Micro Draco 4 blade prop, it is the quietest of the bunch so far. I haven't flown with it but the static ground test it did ok.
The 6x3.2 three blade is up there but more data to collect. Master Airscrew wanted me to try a bunch of their drone racing props so even more props on the way.
The Aeroscout manual shows the motor inclined to the right when viewed from above and in the direction of flight. Is this an error in the drawing, or is the AeroScout engine slanted to the right by design?
Next episode I should have all the flight testing done so we'll know the speeds of each, rate of climb, amperage in flight, etc so we can see what works best for the desired result. Might take a while to get those all done, stay tuned! I definitely won't be adding any more props to the AeroScout list, enough is enough!
@@shanesdiy Great! I'm particularly interested in the prop that will get me off the runway/ground in the shortest distance. Compared it to my other planes the AeroScout seems to take forever to get off the ground.
@@BillKisel So far this one is best for that and I suspect it will stay that way. It has the most static thrust which is what is needed for short takeoff and best rate of climb. People I've heard from that have picked it up say the plane practically jumps off the ground. Master Airscrew 6x3.2 3-Blade bit.ly/495r736
@@BillKisel maybe use more elevator? I've never stalled on takeoff when pulling back on the elevator and are you using full throttle on takeoff for quick lift off?

Loving the experiments! This is what makes the hobby interesting in my opinion 🎉
Yes, you’re 100% correct, Shane…numbers ALWAYS face forward on any propeller. Great video as always👍
Thanks! Thought so but wasn't 100% sure and I didn't want the keyboard warriors coming after me 😂

@@shanesdiy Took it out Saturday, and it for sure pulls better and sounds betterish...still a bit like a pack of angry hornets...but that's okay.

Thanks, I just got an aeroscout with a draco 3 blade prop, so this was very helpful.
Have you found a property like best yet?

This is by design, many planes have this thrust angle built in.
So, when do we get to find out which is the "best" replacement prop for our AeroScout?
