S1000 Prop Angle...What...???

[teecee]

Just putting together my S1000 and I notice that all the arms with CW props have props that are angled about 3.5 degrees CW and the CCW prop arms have props angled 3.5 degrees CCW. This is seen when viewing side on. I am not talking about the 7.5 degree angle that all the arms have out from the main body. This is props and motors only. I was surprised by this as I hadn't seen anyone write about it and have never seen it on a multirotor before. I assume this angle is supposed to be there as all arms have the identical angle (though opposing on CW and CCW arms) and perhaps it all balances out. Maybe it helps performance?? OR maybe they totally screwed up this unit and... What are others seeing out there?

Thanks,

TC

Here is a picture that shows what I am talking about. If you look at the close prop and line it up with the one directly across from it you can really see the angle.

Perfectly normal- it's the same on the S800. This is the MR's equivalent to dihedral and it helps create a more stable platform or at least that is the idea behind it.

I figured as much but I also thought I should ask. Thanks!
