Hey everyone,I am planning on getting a skywalker 1900mm soon and am currently figuring out everything I want and need for it. However, I am having trouble picking a propulsion system. It seems like most people use a 9x6 propeller however I don't see why they wouldn't use a larger 10-12 inch prop for the better efficiency? Also, I can't decide what speed control I should get because I am not sure about the reliability of different brands and amp rating I need.Currently I have picked out a T-motor 2820 830kv motor with a Phoenix Edge Lite 75 amp esc. I would like to run this on an APC 11x7 propeller but I am not sure how everything will work out. Can anyone give me some help?.

It sounds very much like the ESC not being calibrated properly, meaning: ESC doesn't know what signal from your transmitter should be considered 'no power'. To solve this problem, you should follow these simple steps:1. Power off everything (if not done already)2. Turn on the transmitter, apply 'max throttle' and keep it there3.
Power up your ESC; it should beep in different manner (usually two short, high-pitch beeps)4. Reduce the throttle to '0' (zero); ESC should confirm that with another set of short beeps.After that, the ESC should resume 'normal operations', which usually means emitting 'cell count' beeps followed by 'ready to run' beeps/melody.The procedure described above allows the ESC's 'brain' to recognize and save correct max/min throttle settings. After that, it should work ok without the need to repeat the procedure again. The procedure described above is a typical one; but some ESCs may require it to be done in slightly different manner - please refer to your ESC's manual.NOTE: although ESC should recognize your actions correctly and thus prevent the motor from spinning, you are still going to supply power to it with the motor connected (otherwise you will not hear the beeps) and throttle setting other than '0'. As a safety precaution, remove the prop from your motor before applying this procedure.NOTE 2: this procedure should be applied to all ESCs before the first run, even if the ESC/motor behaves correctly (or it looks like it does) straight out of the box.
