I do have a bit of data on this, but not enough points to be much use. The speed is so low that variation in current, wind, battery voltage, etc....
More power is on the agenda. But a 12.5% increase in speed for zero extra energy input would be good as well...
Those are the lines I have been thinking along. Reduced pitch (but by how much? What is a reasonable pitch speed/prop slip?) and maintain thrust...
Thanks very much for the input everyone, food for thought there. I have played about with various gear ratios, measuring speed, current, rpm,...
