Some very rough test flights with a couple of new HQ Props.

5x4.5x3-v1s on Hypetrain 2306-2450
7x4.5-v1s on CPL2207/1500

Need a bit of tuning on both.. the 5x4.5x3 are definitely lighter than the 5x4.8x3 and so my tune is a bit overtuned at higher throttle - need some more TPA to correct it. The 7x4.5 have some low frequency oscillations around 40Hz and 105Hz, a couple of notch filter tweaks should sort that out!

Overall impressions - both are great props for their respective motors. Smoothest 7" flights I've had so far, and looking forward to getting that tune dialled in. Super efficient - predication ~15min flights with 3300mAh 4S.

5x4.5x3-v1s is a nice middle ground between the 4.3" pitch and the 4.8" pitch. It's punchy, and fast but with the lower mass it has a fast transition and is super responsive. Probably my new 'go-to' freestyle prop!
