My DivB students are building and flying this plane, with a shorter wingspan. So far no one (including me) has broken 2 minutes :-( - best so far is 1:55. I'm working on a new prop, 25cm diameter with balsa blades and a perfect (I hope) helical pitch spanwise distribution, and have resurrected my old wind tunnel and data-processing programs from the Electric Wright Stuff days (2022) to test and adjust it. Will hopefully have some results in the next week or so.
Balsa props are approx. 0.25 grams lighter than the Ikara 24cm props, are stiffer, and I haven't broken or cracked one yet. (I probably shouldn't say that too loudly, they will hear me and start breaking right and left
).
