Hi,
Your folding propeller seems to be great. Any news about the 65161 version ?
Thanks
Nicolas

Hi @nicolasLGM and @ericefoil ,
I have tested the new version and I was quite satisfied with the result. If you like you can write me a PM for purchasing one.
Have a great day,
Frank
What is that? Can you show more pictures?
New typ of foilā¦like an airplaneā¦big wing in the frontā¦small controll wing in the backā¦
Controlled by handle barā¦
Foiling by mid speedā¦high speed like waterski on the front wingā¦
Hi @Foil_A_Lot,
Nice project,
Nice to shared,
Which motor are you using?
Still 6374?
Still 130KV ? is it enough at 6S only
Which provider ?
In there some holes in its clutch ?
All moteur I found have holes, no so good for hydrodynamic ?
Thanks in advance
I have a FOLD Propeller for Flipsky and Maytech motors left.
It is new and never used.
Best regards
Hello,
I just received my new one EML Foldable Propeller, nice finish (but in white)
What is the better KV for a 6374 and 8S Li-ion ?
Regards,
Hi @jpx , I just looked up the recent posts of members who are riding successfully the FOLD propeller:
@nekitesurfing 120kv / 7S
@Foil_A_Lot 130kv / 6S
@NickOldfield ? ?
I would go with 120/130kv depends on what motor is available. 160kv or 170kv is too high I think and draws to much motor amps at start up phase.
What do you guys say?
Have a great day,
Frank
Hello @superlefax,
Thanks for answering,
Shenzhen Saite Motor Co., Ltd. said :
KV can be customized to your request, from 50kv to 200kv, even higher is capable.
have a nice says too,
Jean-Pierre
Saite motors (ordered direct)
130KV N6374
Iām Still using 6S
I think 7S or 8S would be better depending on what area Foil is used.
Iām using the big standard 120kv 6384 motor you can get from many suppliers on AliExpress. This works well with my 7s3p battery and the fold propellers. I have just got an 8s3p today which I will be trying shortly.
120kv / 6s. A couple small paddles to get myself on foil with Axis 1150
Thanks all for reply,
I think to go with 8S3P, with a VESC
I already received a non prepared N6374 UAV 120KV.
I think I will order too 120KV for the waterproofed version 6384 to Saite Motor.
With that KV under 8S probably I will be able to takeoff bis the end of the battery.
My weight is 65kg
Today I tried the Propellerking Hyper Drive. Setup 65162 120kv on 12s
I had to modify the cone at the back of the motor as the propellor sits lower on the pin as my easyfoil aluminum 6" . no problem, used a hacksaw, now printing a shorter one
It runs very smooth and silent. top speed today was 37.1 km/h (conditions were difficult - choppy 50cm waves, most rides maxed out at 33) which is a good 10% increase over the easyfoil prop. i think on smooth water it will be even faster. downside is it reacts a bit slower to the throttle, but still very controllable.
efficiency seems comparable, over 15 km with one battery. sofar very hsppy with my purchase
Hello @superlefax ,
Iām interested in a pair of propellers, one clockwise and one counterclockwise. The motors are a pair of flipsky 65161 120KV with M8 threaded shaft, 12s voltage. The project I have in mind is not an efoil. Would it be possible? For this setup, do you recommend the 3-blade or 2-blade propeller? My intention is to obtain maximum efficiency.
Hi @superlefax
I order a fold (order 1291) for flipsky 120kv 12s.
I wondering for fold if brake on esc must be activated for faster retraction of blade like we do on our RC sailplane?
Tips: It will be nice to have approximate shipping delay on order (my wife asking for Christmas )
Thanks !
