AeroNaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades (723432)
In Stock
Upgrade your electric glider with the Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades, engineered for optimal aerodynamic efficiency and high-rpm performance. These high-quality carbon-reinforced propeller blades deliver smooth thrust for your RC glider while folding flush against the fuselage to minimize drag during unpowered soaring. Designed to fit standard 8mm blade root middle pieces, they are an ideal replacement for electric sailplanes and performance motor-gliders.
The Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades represent a high-performance standard in electric flight propeller technology. Constructed from durable carbon fiber reinforced plastic, these blades feature an optimized root profile designed for tight folding along narrow or box-shaped glider fuselages. By reducing the gap between folded blades and the fuselage, drag is drastically decreased, resulting in superior glide ratios. Specifically rated for a 10-inch diameter and 8-inch pitch when mounted on a standard 42mm middle piece, these blades are balanced and matched at the factory as a pair. To ensure long life and safe operation with high-torque brushless motors, soft-start ESC settings should always be utilized alongside respecting the maximum 16,000 RPM speed limit.
What is the maximum recommended speed for the Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades?
The Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades are rated for a maximum speed of 16,000 RPM. Always ensure motor speed does not exceed this rating and use soft-start ESC settings.
How many blades are included with the Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades?
The Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades come packaged as a factory-matched pair of two folding propeller blades.
What root width size do the Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades use?
The Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades feature standard 8mm blade roots, making them compatible with most standard folding propeller hubs and CN spinners designed for 8mm roots.
How does the middle piece size affect the performance of the Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades?
The specified 10x8 size for the Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades is calculated using a standard 42mm middle piece. Using a larger or smaller middle piece will slightly increase or decrease the overall propeller diameter and pitch accordingly.
Are the Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades compatible with brushless motors?
Yes, the Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades are ideal for electric sailplanes powered by brushless motors, provided a soft-start ESC program is used to prevent sudden high-torque impacts on the blades.
Why do the Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades fold tighter than standard propeller blades?
The Aeronaut 10x8 CAM Carbon Folding Blades feature an optimized profile geometry in the blade root area, allowing them to rest extremely close against narrow or wooden box fuselages to drastically reduce gliding drag.
