rankamateur Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Edit: Because the motor design is brushless direct current (BLDC) it is possible to have a regenerative capability while descending. This was not mentioned I am guessing that a prop designed and tuned for a record climb is not going to be tuned for regeneration as well, and where is the point once the record has been set anyway? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 You would still get significant power recovery. Enough to do manoeuvering and a normal approach at the lower levels. 8% of what you used to get up there would be plenty. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
