William Thielicke | Graupner C-prop 5.5x3" vs. HQprop 5.5x4.5B" Test flight @Willa1980 | Uploaded April 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I have two types of propellers that I like: Graupner C-prop 5.5x3" and HQprop 5.5x4.5B". The HQprops have a higher top speed, and they are better on long tracks without tight turns. I was however unsure if they can compete with the C-props on short and tight tracks where you can hardly go to full throttle. Therefore I made this quick test today.
Both propellers perform almost identically on tight tracks, the c-props are just a little bit better.
I also tested some 5x4 triblades, but they are just loud crap and can't compete at all with the 2-bladed props that I tested today. I might however test some other triblades in the future.
