the goal was to hit at least 250kmh with a mainly printed sub 250gr quad. that didnt worked out yet. it weighs a bit more and highest speed achieved with the current setup is 219kmh.
main reason is the use of tmount motors which prevented the use of props like apc. i tried several different tmount props and surprisingly the 5 blade t75mmx5 hqprop resulted in the highest speed. generally less blades is better for speed. using motors with m5 mount would be a better choice. next time. there is space for improvements.

for people not familiar with this type of drones:
these are selfbuilt.
you cant simply buy it in a store.
used parts are mostly written in the title.
you dont learn to fly them in a week. it takes months/years.
researching is a constant part of this hobby.
im flying them manually in acro mode which means no gps, no self stabilization, etc.
