I recently had a minor incident with the Rarebear; the result of me somehow reversing the elevator, probably while I was adjusting settings on the transmitter. The result was the Rarebear nosediving straight into the turf, although fortunately with the ground being very damp there, the damage was limited to a broken prop.
Unfortunately I'd used the last of my Funfighter props on the Radjet, which now uses the same propulsion system as the Rarebear. The only alternative were some APC style props which I'd bought based on reviews, so I got one out the bag and fitted it to the Rarebear.
This morning, a lovely cool and calm start to the day, I took the Rarebear along to try it out. Flying on the 3S 1300 battery the Rarebear is usually pretty quick, although manageable, so I was quite amazed at how much slower it was compared to flying with its original prop.
While you would think there wouldn't be much difference between a 6x4 and a 5.5 x 4.5, it just shows what a brilliant combination the original prop and motor are together...
