Walrus 11x6 2200mAh First Flight

...and the ESC hasn't exploded yet

I've fitted the fitted Walrus with an oversize 11x6 carbon propellor instead of the underwhelming white plastic unit 9x6with which it comes standard. I've previously flown it with a 10x6 carbon carbon prop which went very well.



The 11x6, as you might expect, is a bit of an overkill, being twenty two percent larger than standard, however it does make for very quiet flying as the prop barely needs to tick over to keep the Walrus flying.


I've limited the throttle to ninety percent so the ESC doesn't explode and so far have used full power only sparingly as I want to get the feel for its capabilities first - I certainly don't want the Walrus to end up as a smouldering wreck...
