Sharing my own design:
Vesc configured at max 28 battery amp
I could fly, barely. (I weight 95kg)
Next step, I will be testing some RC plane propellers to try improving efficiency.
What motor? I doubt that spanmaxing prop is suitable even though its a efficient prop at the application he tested. The guard also kills power. Take it off and see if that helps.
I am using a 6384 motor. I wanted to keep the prop guard for safety.
I will test a more traditional prop, thanks for the tip!
fair!
At low speed I think it is not that impactful. The frontal cross section is very similar to the one of the motor.
Hard to test the difference compared to the motor pod alone. Would be interesting to run the numbers on drag differences between a long pod and a short one.
Maybe a better an engineer than me

Since nobody replied, and I run all the problems here through ChatGpt to improve my knowledge, the answer to the drag issue on the shape of your nose cone is basically “not much”, especially as you are using it as an assist.
I think it looks good, and I’m happy you are enjoying it.
Prwtty easy to test actually. If you have a flowing river, take a fishing scale and attach a rope to the board with different variations on the board and measure the drag. That way you can get and indicator on what the difference is.
Really interesting build! Did you try out a different prop? Is the housing 3d printed to precisely fit the v3 19mm mast?
Yes, It Is printed to fit precisely!
I will test a few APC RC plane props next spring, they seem much more efficient than standard props.
Very cool how you got everything to fit in there. Would you be willing to share some of your 3d printing files? Or even just the outline of the mast?
I also have a gong v3 19mm mast, and i’m planning to use a 6384 motor.
Sure.
Please find the STL and Fusion 360 files.

Also a sneakpeak on the props I will be testing:
Thanks @gioclava very kind of you!
Interesting idea to use RC plane props. I’m curious to see the results
