Hi,
I have the jDrones AC2836-358 880kV motor, with the jDrones 30A ESC and the jDrones 12x4.5 EPP composite propeller. According to jDrones I should get:
Tested thrust:
| Power out put from ESC, 3S LiPo, 12x45 Propeller | 25% | 50% | 75% | 100% | Amp Wattage Thrust | 1.5 A 17.5W 230gr | 6.1 A 70W 650gr | 14.2 A 160W 1290gr | 20A A

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Using a test rig with the propeller mounted as a pusher directly pressing against the scale and a fully charged 3s 6100mAh 25C LiPo, a Fluke i30 and a scale with 0.1gr resolution I get a maximum of about 950gr @ 13A(12V). So I am missing about 1/3 of thrust. What is wrong ? Anybody getting the same disappointing numbers ?
