Big safety improvement, designed and built a propeller guard. It still cruises at 25% throttle, so I saw no significant decrease in performance compared to no prop guard. I designed it completely by eye, so I must have gotten quite lucky on the profile, clearance and angle of attack and it’s improving the efficiency of the prop a bit. If anyone wants the design, let me know if the link fails to work- It’s about $5 worth of PETG and might save you from a toe amputation. I feel comfortable taking my kid for a ride now.
I know much smarter people than me have worked on prop guards, and there’s a great looking commercial prop guard for this motor (HYPER GUARD – PropellerKing) but I like building stuff.
