Like I said already, it's not definitive but the results are indeed interesting. If I do the test again in the future, it'll be once the Veyron35 has fresh 2205 motors installed, or I may even throw the tri-loops onto the Roma F6 since bigger might be more efficient (also, no ducts on the Roma), but given my future projects and also my usual work and day to day life, consider this one of my last toroidal propeller videos for a while, or at least until something significant or interesting happens.
