Mirroring what we've seen in static thrust tests, the 7100kv R3 is pretty disappointing overall. Large lack of efficiency at lower power levels, and a much smaller sweet spot at high power put it at a disadvantage. It appears to have a general lack of torque as well, so it's not able to maintain it's rpm as well under high loads. At extremely light loading, lighter than a DYS 2030x4, it's extra Kv can carry it a bit further, and it would be better served with higher voltage at light loads than being a brute at high prop loading. It's fairly well matched to light 3" prop loads, but is perhaps a little more closely suited to a 2.5" loading.
