	* APC propellers perform almost the same as one size larger Graupner propellers, e.g. the thrust from a APC 10x4.7 Slowfly equals the thrust from a Graupner 11x5 [http://fpvlab.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-5371-p-9.html?s=93766d4d65831417a415bea100ed2d80]		* APC propellers perform almost the same as one size larger Graupner propellers, e.g. the thrust from a APC 10x4.7 Slowfly equals the thrust from a Graupner 11x5 [http://fpvlab.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-5371-p-9.html?s=93766d4d65831417a415bea100ed2d80]
	* Fly by voltage, once the pack hits 14V under load it's time to land (perfectly at 14.8V) because it goes down fast at 13.5V very quickly [http://fpvlab.com/forums/showthread.php?10030-TBS-Lipo-4S-3.3Ah-30C-Review&p=244589&viewfull=1#post244589]		* Fly by voltage, once the pack hits 14V under load it's time to land (perfectly at 14.8V) because it goes down fast at 13.5V very quickly [http://fpvlab.com/forums/showthread.php?10030-TBS-Lipo-4S-3.3Ah-30C-Review&p=244589&viewfull=1#post244589]
