Inverted Prop Direction
#1
Just ran across the idea of changing the prop direction.  Basically the props that spin CW change to CCW and vica versa.  The you would change your yaw motor direction in the CLI.  

Has anyone tried this?

Thanks for posting that Ryan. I haven't done it, but I think I'll try it on my current build - for grins - not that I would notice a difference. I just like the idea of not throwing crap into my camera - I spend a lot of time in tall grass...Wink

(And easier to do on a new build than to retrofit - most of my motors have cw/ccw threaded shafts.)

I have it on 2 of my 3 last builds. Imho feels good, especially in fast forward flight and quick throttle changes (i think motors run more even i.e. less difference in rpm comparing front to rear).

Yeah i've been running mine like this a few months now, I didn't feel much difference in the air at all personally but keeping the camera lens clean is nice, I fly over grass a lot..

I came very close to doing this on my current build purely on accident. I installed my motors the wrong way from the start but they are not wound for a specific direction so I corrected in BLHeli instead... I may give it a try some day since that's how I installed my motors anyway. I kinda like the idea of the non-conventionality of it ha ha ha...

I was curious about the quad in that video (really cool looking), so I looked it up. I'm pretty sure it's the Hyperlite EVO 5".

Here's the 4mm arm version: http://pirofliprc.com/HyperLite-EVO-5-4m..._3816.html

I felt a little curious too but I didn't do the research... I cant imagine building in frames that small yet but I am happy to have an ARF tiny little bugger to do it for me on the way!

Makes me want to try this on a brushed micro build. I feel like it may be more noticeable due to the lack of power and responsiveness when compared to brushless motors.

Could be the reason the Inductrix has it out of the box iirc. Smile
