5085 2 blade folding prop (Kalmar)  
Built a 2 blade folding assist motor from a 5085 outrunner. I also designed a 3 blade hub but I think the FD blades are too big for a 3 blade prop for this small motor. Shorter blades should work in a 3 blade configuration.  
The pod is fom the model bolow, I just added the TPU insert for the gong v3 15mm HDM mast.  
Thanks @nicolasLGM

> Hi, of course, [3D design POD 5085 flipsky gong 14mm TPU - Tinkercad](https://www.tinkercad.com/things/lU9LCG75Bos-pod-5085-flipsky-gong-14mm-tpu?sharecode=6sztQ5GiTKW5rbrc-HxX4wkGqbnCiA6mJ9aBHAclZYU)

I ended up printing the strap from TPU85A, the cut rubber strap was not strong enough.

I tested it on 90l DW board with a gong veloce H V3 XL (1150 cm2). No problem to get on foil in flat water (73kg rider).  
Vesc settings: battery current max: 75A  
Phase max: 75A  
Phase abs max: 100A  
Battery RS50 12S2P
