I need arm measurements lol (see what I did there?  ) If you just so happen to be bored, have a ruler or digital caliper and a drone within arm's reach (damn, I'm on a roll, I know), please consider taking a measurement of the thickness and width at the middle of the arm. Doesn't have to be precise at all. I also need to know the prop size that goes with those arms. I kept this in the Mini Quad forum since I'm mostly interested in 3" to 5" quads. So something like (from an Apex): 5" props, 6mm thick, 12mm wide For science!!  Thanks!!  ![[-]](https://intofpv.com/images/collapse.png) • Posts: 4,550 Threads: 38 Likes Received: 1,245 in 1,064 posts Likes Given: 430 Joined: Aug 2020 Reputation: 118 TBS Source One v3:

Or I'm gonna do more dad jokes ... to twist your arm. If you do some more dad jokes, I’ll set an alarm/reminder to measure all of my 3”+ frames later today. Okay, I already set a reminder, but I’d still like some jokes. Dangerous operations.

for what exactly do you need that mesurements? are you intressted in unusual settup frames? regardless kind of quad unibody/splitarm and purpose spacy freestyle frame, cruiser or leightweight racer/basher? • Posts: 4,731 Threads: 392 Likes Received: 3,231 in 1,827 posts Likes Given: 3,214 Joined: Apr 2019 Reputation: 101 (31-Aug-2021, 02:15 PM)hugnosed_bat Wrote: for what exactly do you need that mesurements? are you intressted in unusual settup frames? regardless kind of quad unibody/splitarm and purpose spacy freestyle frame, cruiser or leightweight racer/basher? Just trying to build up a set of data points is all. I'm coming to appreciate that so much of a frame's performance is informed by the arms. And hey, even if it is totally unusual, if it works, then it's good data. (31-Aug-2021, 01:53 PM)Lemonyleprosy Wrote: Okay, I already set a reminder, but I’d still like some jokes.

Well arm't you the clever one! as example the 5inch 5mm wideness and 2.5mm thikness does work in terms of xD it can fly in one configuration, onnthe limit about okish vibrations for cruising only. on some lightweight motors around 1306 and a lightweight 2s battery on dalprop t5051 Posts: 4,073 Threads: 75 Likes Received: 2,548 in 1,858 posts Likes Given: 3,949 Joined: May 2021 Reputation: 121 Sector25CR: 2.5” props, 8.7mm, 2.5mm
