Is 32 Blades too Much for a 7" Drone? 🤔 New OCTOblade 8-blade Propeller Hub for DALPROP (3D print)

This is the NEWER and improved version of the original OCTOblade hub--a 3D printable 8-blade propeller hub. This one is smaller and lighter, and is designed to use the DALPROP folding propeller blades. While this began mostly as a novelty item (and because nobody makes eight bladed 7" propellers), I think it may have potential to be useful in some applications. Balancing definitely needs to be improved.

Nice! My crazy idea: using PC case fans as propellers.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Well I'm sold!

[@ramikaranasinghe5576]

that much silence. im definetly gonna get it now. And also nice video with smooth flying skills. you got a new subscriber.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Thank you!

[@derpy_boystk]

My first time watching this guy and I already love his channel

[@RCwithAdam1]

Thanks and welcome!

[@developmentdesign8374]

Hi, just amazing! Thank you for that video! Btw what are the motors sizes and kv please? Thank you !

[@jeffswope1511]

Cool. I found multi blade props to give a locked in tiny whoop feel. I also only used six blade props. Not bad just different.

[@jamesmason7124]

Would love to see a 4 inch version

[@RCwithAdam1]

That would be easy! Just use 4" blades. But I don't know any if anyone makes 4" folding blades right now.

[@4115steve]

is there any difference if you use an odd number of propellors. With wind generator you have to have an odd number or the wind generator won't turn.

[@Sbangfpv_]

5:18 what’s your throttle level? Do a comparison for long range standard 3 blade prop setup vs octablade prop setup. Amp draw seems accurate. It does sound quite-er as in sounds windy not high pitch. 👍

[@Sbangfpv_]

Can tell a lot with Throttle level

[@Apmarshman]

diminishing returns after 4 blades. Thrust>weight. Optimizing thrust/weight is key with all flying machines.

[@EpikFPV27]

I didn’t realise how quiet 8 blades can be 😂

[@RCwithAdam1]

I know right!

[@NicholasRehm]

Danggggg that's super quiet

[@RCwithAdam1]

Yes! It does get a bit louder when it's heavier, but still not the typical sound.

[@Siamect]

They say one blade props are more efficient...🤔😆

[@Ivy_FyreGirls]

Teach me to do this

[@ChrisQuadFPV]

Yep too many blades for freestyle

[@gabormihaly667]

But it's a good place here, the police won't catch you if you drone illegally like elsewhere!
