HQProp BMS Racing Prop 5.1X4.3X3 (2CW+2CCW)-Poly Carbonate
Woohoo! At long last we finally have a propeller to carry the BMS name! Meet the HQProp BMS 5.1x4.3x3. Built to succeed the R42, this prop features both higher top speed and lighter weight, while still retaining the brilliant race efficiency and durability from the R42.
If your interested in numbers, the propeller weighs in at 4.26g (R42 was 5.03) and the top speed is boosted to 217km/h (on the same day R42 was at a stable 199km/h). Please note top speed will vary based on the rest of the setup and also external conditions, hence these numbers are based on the same testing window.
Outside of the numbers, the lighter weight, in combination with the new airfoil make for an extremely stiff blade, with fantastic throttle feel throughout the entire throttle and speed range. In real racing this equates to an easier time adapting to the setup when starting cold, and thus being able to extract more total performance in a shorter time. This means taking greater advantage of practice and qualifying windows, while having the confidence to push when the heat of racing is in full swing.
Additionally we managed to retain durability, and from our testing seemingly increase it from the previous generation. Already this proved itself vital at Australian Drone Nationals 2022. We don't want to have mid-air collisions or crashes but it does happen, and a little extra durability can be all the difference between a podium finish, or missing out due to volatility of racing.
This was kind of a late night lark. I'd seen this upgrade for the Mk3 for a while and pondered whether it was a gimmick or not, and I'm pleased to say it's a genuinely good upgrade. It has reduced the noise of my Mk3 considerably. I haven't noted any significant increase in print quality, but the old drone of the bed is gone and that's completely worth it.
when i received mine the box and everything was not damaged but when i opened it the canopy was cracked and the VTX did not work when i tried my first battery. I'm alright with the vtx being DOA as all i really wanted was the motors and beeeye camara, But when i reached out to customer service i was blamed for crashing it (even tho i never flew it). beware the QC is total garbage. save your money and buy a Mobula6 from a reputable company like GetFPV for RDQ's. I wasn't going to write a review but after the email i received i don't want anyone else getting scammed.
I had a very personable experience shopping with my drone your team took the time to help me purchase exactly what I and also identified the additional accessories that I may need to purchase that way I would not have post purchase regret. I will definitely be shopping there again for more flight systems and accessories.
An absolute pleasure to fly. Handles incredibly well and responds to any input just as I expected.
The only criticism is not of the performance of the drone. Unfortunately, it arrived with damage to the canopy. But I was still able to fly it and make initial observations.
