Small Folding Props

[Wayne]

Wanted to make sure you all saw the new mini folding props we are offering. They come in the following sizes:
4.5x3
5.1x3.1
5.5x3.3
Depending on the motor and battery combo you can make a pound of thrust with these using our very small 1404 brushless motor. Even more with something like an 1806 motor or larger options. We do not recommend really high power, high RPM applications as these props have a very small yokes that will fail at high power settings.

We are developing different yokes for different applications. First up was for our Mini Wanderer Brushless setup:
Mini R/C Folding Spinner (22mm) - 22mm is as small as we can go.

We will be offering a smoother 25mm similar shape to our normal Turbo spinners soon.

Next up is a pusher setup without a spinner:

Mini Pusher Folding Propeller Yoke 25mm

Our in-house manufactured folding propeller yoke mounts to any race quad motor with a 5mm threaded shaft for low power pusher prop applications (Under 200W). We have not tested the blades upper RPM limits, the small hubs on the blades will be the weak spot. Great for flying wings and other...

This one features blade locks to avoid over centering when folded or ability to hit the trailing edges in a poor startup.

We will offer a larger spinner combo based on an 1806 motor when a little more power is desired.

You can expect us to use these power systems on a number of future model designs here.

Awesome, I was asking for something along these lines a couple of years ago. I also saw the 3D printed spinners for the 1404 motors. Good work!

How about a "motor in spinner" spinner for the 1106 motors.

We have a hot 1408 and the T-motor F60 will be the beast version. These 4 motors will give us a pretty wide range of sizes and thrusts. We will do some testing as the 1408 and F60 may require aluminum, and that will slow things down.
