The Twisted Revolta I paraded for 2022 with a 90g 4s setup,

I have really been liking the APC indoor 3D profile props but they are low rpm range torquey so I repowered this back to a 3s 67g powerplant setup on an 18amp ESC and flight timer is now 5:30min with 18% remaining.

T-Motor 1100KV


FWIW the APC Indoor 3D profile style is available now in sizes 6"-12" and pitches are 3.8, 4.1, 4.6
These are perfect to keeps speeds down and gyro gains high.............

I've been looking for a better setup for my revolto. Got any videos of it with this new setup?

So does this new Revolto setup fly better than the one I flew at Ottumwa a couple years ago?

To me it does, by running a smaller prop and lower pitch really lets it crank tight KE spins and tumbles, when you get the throttle jokey just right it becomes a blurr. I was 3s back when you flew it on 11X5 Graupner. I think you would notice a differance on yours just trying that 10X4.6.
My grandsons is 1000KV and mine 1100kv, he does not like mine because he is so used to his throttle as a control surface he is off in response after 3 years his is still pristine with no repairs. Mines got lots of repairs trying to keep landing gear in place...

The 4s I had on 980KV and I used a 9X4.1 APC 3D as the 9X4.6 you could even tell the differance in KE spins and Tumbles... My flight times were only at 4:30min.

I think I might have a 10x4.7 SF laying around somewhere. If so, I'll give it a try.
Thanks!

I have some of the 9x4.1 on my crack fokker and crack beaver. They are very delicate and can't take a hit but they do pull hard down low.

They feel like a cross between a regular APC e prop and the APC slow flyers--which is really what they look like anyway, in profile. I really like them. I too have a Twisted Fokker, on a kinda lazy 2S setup--I was using a 9x4.7 slowfly for quite a while, and switched to the 9x4.6 3D slowfly, and it really added throttle response and punch. Bonus was slightly more flight time :)
