    Ha ha lol don’t cough on any old people lol. Hey mr Steel it was amazing to fly with you at the Rosedale park a few weeks ago. My girlfriend has the footage of you flying circles around me next to the pavilions. I was flying my Nazgul 5 as you lifted off after a propeller change. I was told after I landed that you were using me as a moving obstacle for a few moments there she said we were looking Choreographed. Anyway it was amazing to fly with you. Keep up the awesome content. I was flying the S 5 propeller that day.

    Really like both the S3 and S4's, also the prop organiser bag is such a simple but really effective way to store your props, I hated having loads of prop bags in my backpack and having to dig through them to find the right direction of prop, I don't have to worry about that anymore.

    Been flying the S3 for the past months and mainly use my freestyle setup for filming here in the Philippines. Probably, the BEST set of props I've used as it's so agile and can maintain my aircraft's flight behavior (most of the time) even on strong gusts of wind. Looking forward to more awesome development on these props! #BuhayAerial

      Mr Steele yes of course!!!! How could I not say high to the Legend!!!! No it was not scary only because I didn’t know it was taking place. You showed up and you started flying you did a power loop under the pavilion I think it was and messed your props or something. You went to adjust or change props. So I took the opportunity to go up. After I landed my girlfriend told me she got the footage of you flying around me and using me basically as an obstacle but like I said I didn’t even know it was taking place thank God I’d have probably been 😬. It was awesome to meet you and all the guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

  • @the_darkside_fpv
    @the_darkside_fpv Pƙed 4 lety

    I run s5’s. Built a CL-1 that’s kinda porky probably could run the s4 or s3 and get away with it but the hero 8 doesn’t help 😂😂 loving the s5’s though I like its juicy feel. Definitely an amp eater at high throttle but if you slow it down just a tad it’s the ultimate flow prop I feel. Like you have that pace that’s not blistering nor slow but it kinda just stands out as one of those epically cinematic speed paces.

    Thanks so much for the insanely detailed explanation .. I've decided to try the S3 on my 6S 1700kv 600g 5 inch Diatone F5 Roma instead of the S5 it was shipped with. Will likely throw an S4 into the mix soon, once I get my action cam. (And I was just saying to my daughter that I should start a prop graveyard to remind me to not run into so much shit)

    On my light-weight kwad the S3 produces the least noise of all 5" props i've ever used ! Thats important for me cause i've already lost good spots when other people got annoyed from a loud screaming kwad. Now it is my dayly driver.

    • @operatorfpv7277
      @operatorfpv7277 Pƙed 4 lety

      Ya, I have a bunch of S5 I'm flying thru, but I like the S4 for heavy better. I think the tips of the S5 are a bit too flexible, and give me a funky prop vibe at high rpm and high G maneuvers that I can't tune out completely. The S4 seem more solid, and easier to tune.
      I'm rocking an over 700g auw alien(I think it was 720g. It's been a while....).

    • @HellaCopter
      @HellaCopter Pƙed 4 lety

      Operator FPV I’m at 715-725 auw with most my GoPro hero 5/6/7/8 setups I tried the s4 they are nice heard a few things people didn’t like about s5 wondering if the biblade 6” work for heavy weight while giving a locked in feel but I never personally ran biblade yet on 5-6” only have the experience with micros

    • @operatorfpv7277
      @operatorfpv7277 Pƙed 4 lety

      @@HellaCopter maybe. Biblades will be slower and a little choppier on hard maneuvers. Especially on 6". It depends mostly on how you fly.
      If you want to cruise/chase in the sup 40-50mph range, biblades will give you great flight times and no issues.
      I should clarify. I'm over motored with 2450kv on 5s. I would guess(haven't tried yet) that if I cap my throttle, I could get rid of my S5 prop woes. I would also guess that if I had 2306 or 2308 motors, that would get rid of some of it as well. My 2207 2450kv motors seem a bit under powered. They were very weak on 6" props for freestyle. They do pretty good on 5", so I'm good for now. After some good flight time on this rig, I like it, but I do need to rebuild now that I know what I want, and found one of my esc's isn't up to par. My right yaw and roll is half speed compared to left.... and aio with 4 esc's is super heavy. I like to cruise, but I'm more into pushing the limits at the moment, so I need to build a lighter rig, and hopefully with better motors. My fc+esc is heavy... my rx is heavy(diversity xfire), my vtx is heavy, and my camera is an older CMOS foxeer monster... the only parts I want to keep are maybe the frame(but would love to build on an apex...), the hellgate buzzer, the antennae, and maybe the gps puck.

  • @eldronado
    @eldronado Pƙed 4 lety

    I love the feel of S3, but with my motors (XING 2207) the lower hub thickness (5mm) makes it so they get loose extremely easily and I end up having to tighten them way more that I normally would every time I crash.

    Now I've had the S5, P3, and have some P4 Candy canes on the way. How does the S series compare to the P series?

      They honestly are very close in feel. the S series props just have a little less top end then the p series since they are shorter then the p series

    Im not sure if I understand your altitude calculations, I live in The Netherlands, a country known for being underwater without prevention ‘dijken’.. but -500ft is -150 meter below sea level? The Netherlands only reaches -7meter(-23feet). Can anyone explain/think with me?
