Flight Testing ADAMM (Adjustable Direction Angled Motor Mounts) - FPV Drone 7"

[@MaxSMoke777]

Aren't you doing the props at the wrong angle? By angling them inward, you are likely making a low pressure area over the quad, because they are hooking into each other's air flow. Less air means less lift, right? If you angled them outward, you could get more of a high pressure zone under the quad, achieving better lift.

Would be cool to see what the black box logs.

[@RCwithAdam1]

Good idea

[@nicklessticksfpv]

If angled motors would have any benefit, dji would adopt it since day one.

[@DroneDocs]

Sees all DJI drones have tilted motors....ohhhh

[@Airlensbv]

Look at dji fpv motors

[@DroneDocs]

@Airlensbv lots of DJI drones, from a Mini 3 to a Matrice 350 has angled motors.

[@bobflyman]

My logic tells me there's no advantage in an inward angle for the drone motors in fact possibly a disadvantage as some of the thrust energy is be wasted trying to pull each arm to the centre of the drone. Maybe I'm missing something here, but what's the point of angle inwards? 🤔

[@RCwithAdam1]

Good points. One theory is that the thrust columns pointing away from each other would decrease turbulence.

[@bobflyman]

@@RCwithAdam1 Yes, I did wonder if that was the intention. I was thinking about twin or 4 engine planes, props are usually all in the same thrust line. Why not test Hook a line from the drone to a spring balance secured to the ground and do a 'pull' test with motors tilted in and motors in the usual configuration! 😉. That'd be fun! Or dangerous?

[@DroneDocs]

The advantage is added yaw control. This is commonly used on larger drones like a DJI Matrice or Inspire.

sick

[@DomTutin]

Why not have a different look in fpv lol it
