Hello,
I have a 3dr quad q frame with stock 850kv motors. two of the APC props of my quad are damaged due to a small accident during landing, 10x4.7 props are not available in my local market instead 10x6 Slow-flyer are available.
Can i use these 10x6 instead of 10x4.7 on my quad?

Hi Abbas.
It's certainly possible but to avoid 'over propping' (and risk damaging your motors) you can either use a watt meter or you can get an accurate prediction by using eCalc. You'll probably need to purchase at least a one month subscription to get full access to all the variables but it's well worth it.
Or, if you can pass me the all-up weight of your copter with the battery installed, plus the type of battery (amps, C-rating, voltage), and the approximate altitude of where you're flying, I can run the numbers for you.
Cheers
all up weight is approx 1.38Kg, battery is 2800mah 3s lipo, approx altitude is 50 meters :)
eCalc says you're good with 10x6 -- even 11x4.5 looks okay. You might also want to try regular e-props over slow fliers.
Thank u very much :) e-props are also not available in local market only slow flyers are available :(
Please do me a favor can u calculate it for zippy compact 5800mah lipo ?? i'll be very thankful to you :)
Performance will be affected but it will work. With same RPM you will get a greater lift as 6" pitch part of the blade will push more air underneath!
Note: You may have to readjust the PID pich, roll, yaw rate values..

ok i'll try it then :) thanks
