thank you for sharing experience.
yes i notice, cleaner air for all props... i fly old diatone et 160, its a deadcat design unclean air for the rear props, wide carbon arms for single esc... on lightbuilds it fly very nice, but probably only because of the weight. i fly a diatone gtr4 frame, there is more space between props. it is stable in the air, has a good handling, until lipo starts to sag. probably it is the weight...
i fly the pnp diatone gtm-515 (1806 2500kv 20a_esc 190g) i try with hq and dal 4" , but 2500kv on 4s and 4" its not enough rpm. its precise in every rpm but it is less nimble against the featherlight dalprop5051c. but the 5051c killing the bearings and my lipos and flytime shrink to 2minutes and crazy-saggs with my graphene. probably my tune for 4inch isnt well too.

now im confused, i tought near props gives more nimblness but its bad for efficiency and the motors. somewhere i am wrong, your flightfootage is an example and you told it. probably ability to handle the nimbelness in more flightsituation is also an issue, saving esc and cpu - something like this?
am i completly wrong with the nearprop-nimbelness-theory. can you give me another influence? have to figure this out, this question bother me.

i was thinking about the emax mini 2 stack, its 30a 20x20 able for 6s, but i dont compare weight and size already. i need a droneart frame, i will try the 5inch frame with the 4inch and 6s, they are beautifull too. when i find good parts for the droneart4“ frame, i will compare it with same gear and the 5“. druckbear looks much more solid and better to build... i wish i can get them all soon

ok. your theory isnt that wrong. A smaller wingspan is more agile, BUT on the other hand the props are spinning closer togehter. The consequence is, alot more propwash. I´m not a physic professor or so, thats all my experience and my "logical theory" what I think the results are.
What I do on all my smaller quads is, reverse the motor direction. have a look at the video, but the conclusion is:
less "dirty air" for the back props and more thrust on the back props, if you wanna do some turns. KababFPV explains it very good.

In the end I must say, that the Druckbaer flys better than the ISO. There are some pros and cons for both anyway for me personaly I fly more often the Druckbaer than the ISO.

thanks alot for the impressions about your builds and the link about cleanair-propdirection. seems to be specialy intresting for my deadcat frames. agog about figure out characteristic diffrence.
i love the hq4043 so much, allready i never had big propwash issue with it, with 6s power probably i find an end of the perfect hq4043 aerodynamics.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
