Finally getting some decent speeds (with only minor oscillations on harsh throttle changes) on RS 6045 Master Airscrew tri-blade props. Total flight time at cruising speeds of 90-100km/h was 5min 15sec using Hyperion G7 HV 2400mAh 5S battery.
My other favourite prop on this setup is Gemfan 5552 tri-blade : https://youtu.be/4kbeEnWbSu8

Bernese Swiss Alps, Valais, Switzerland by long range FPV drone - Xhover Stingy.
8.4km round trip. First time out with Gemfan 6042 tri-blades (on T-motor F40 Pro II) : quite smooth props and very efficient (only used 1600mAh on this flight) but maybe just not enough thrust at high altitude.
Descent starts at 3:05
