Who says W is the same? With higher V, W will increase! Don't just talk, do it and see

I'm not interested in hijacking someone else's thread. So, this stops on this thread.

sanjay sir,i want to use it on my quadcopter,so which props do you suggest???

Take my words back... 
Sorry Sanjay sir...

If you want maximum lift, you can try the 10X4.5. If you are using a 3S battery, as said before, verify once the maximum Ampere draw, which should be within the manufacturers limit

So should i use 10x4.5 props sir??

26 amps at 14.8v?
Probably won't draw over 20amps on 3s if you stick to the (smaller) props suggested by Rai saheb.
Take care: More than 16-17amps (200w) may kill the motor.

I am still confused will the smaller prop give 500-700g of thrust???and will the bigger prop damage the motor?? And what should i do to get a thrust of 500-700g without damaging my motors???and thanx to everyone for the help it has helped me alot, Especially sanjay sir... Now i need a final verdict coz i need to show the quad working to my school in a few days,i certainly dont want any damage as this my first project, the budget is an issue...

sanjayrai55

Use the bigger prop for maximum thrust. It SHOULD work OK, but use of a wattmeter is better. If you don't have one use Lifeline - phone a friend :D

Exact thrust cannot be determined unless tested

@rohan123,
Your motor is different from what we were taking about.
Prop recommendation by DYS attached.

Hope this helps.
Over and out. Bye.

Since you hardly ever go full throttle on a quad, the bigger prop should work fine.

On quads, people prefer to go with lower kv motors. 1000kv max if using 3S batteries. The 1400kv might be too inefficient. Might not get very long flight times from these motors.
Also, do you know how to fly quads?

For how much did you buy the motor for. If you want you could sell it and get a better motor.

@maahinberi im new to rc stuff,its my first project and i dont know how to fly quads but will shortly learn using a simulator...
@rcrcnitesh i bought a combo of the motor and the ESC for 1500 rs. and i asked the seller for a lower kv motor but he told me they are out of stock and dont know when they will be in stock...

i bought it from a seller in delhi

rcrcnitesh

well use it with an 8*4.7 prop.

Yes, please practice on the sim, and then when you build the quad, practice a lot on that in an empty ground where you can't hurt anyone. Do not fly in front of people till you don't have total control of the quad. They can cause a lot of damage if out of control.

How are you planning on building the quad? What size quad are you building? Do you have an estimated weight?

Actually 10" props will give you more flight time, because the quad will hover at a lower throttle than the 8" props.
Also, 10" props will be more stable. Easier for a beginner to control.

but these motors pull 18amps on 9*6 props on 10" props they will burn.

As I said before, that is only the max amp rating at full throttle. I have been flying quads for quite some time and personally, I have never gone full throttle even once. I know people do go full throttle on quads, but only for doing flips and rolls, or flying extremely fast in forward flight.
Being a beginner he is a very long way from getting into acro flight. Also, these motors will not have enough thrust with 8" props for acro flight.
So if he is not going to be going full throttle at all, then why waste battery on every flight for just hovering.

Let's assume he builds a 450 size quad (which normally weighs around 1000g). With 8" props on those motors, it will hover at about 60-65% throttle. With a 2200mah 3S battery, this would give him a flight time of about 3 minutes.

With 10" props however, it should hover at half throttle and should give a flight time of 5-6 minutes.

i agree with maahin sir as i wont need full throttle ...and sir i will take every precaution as possible so that nobody gets hurt.and i will be making a 450quad with max. weight 1kg .i am planning to make the frame for testing the motors and will either buy or use aluminum square rods for the final product.i will be using a flysky ct6b(which im feeling hard to find in budget) and for the flight controller i am using an arduino UNO r3 with 6DOF(whose code im working on) gyro but for the testing i'll be using the hobbyking multi rotor flight-controller v3...thats the plan by now
