What kind of prop you want to use ?
I have a 3530/1100kv motor, running a 10x4.7 APC S prop, it fits in a 120% Spear, not on the original dimension Spear.
I printed the drawing at 120%. She fly great.

No Agenda FPV
a tree jumped in front of my spear yesterday!! Broke the right wing pretty badly!
Hate it when they do that....
I am still waiting for electronics, but I went ahead and put the wings together as I just couldn't wait any longer. I'm like a kid at Xmas! In the flying video from Josh and them, they have everything inside and have the FPV and Receiver antennae kitty corner to each other. Would it be better to put them on the wing tips? Once it all arrives I can quickly wire up a harness for everything, but I am wondering if I will need to. I am not going so far as a GPS autopilot module, but I would like to send this out a little ways.

Hi all,
I recently build a FT Spear which I power using a 3S 2200mah and a 1000kV motor that spins a 10x4.5 inch propeller. I find this set-up quite under-powered, in fact I'm even having a bad time even taking off! I have only managed to get a few successful flights when weather conditions are ideal, but even then the aircraft struggles to climb due to limited power. In addition to the power issue, I fly the aircraft in an area with no grass, so nearly every belly landing breaks the tips of the propeller. I was thinking to buy a foldable propeller to solve this.
Since I have recently bought plenty of 3S batteries which I want to use, the answer would be to step-up the motor to a higher kV. I was thinking to get perhaps a 1800kV motor and combine it with some smaller diameter foldable propeller. Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks
