Next-Level Sailplane EfficiencyHigh Efficiency Folding Propeller Solution
The Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades offer exceptional aerodynamic performance for high-efficiency RC gliders and electric sailplanes. Specially optimized with a carbon-reinforced compound, these folding propeller blades fold flush against narrow fuselages to drastically reduce in-flight drag. Upgrade your electric flight power system with precision-matched blades designed for maximum climb authority and seamless soaring.
Precision Carbon Airfoil TechnologyAdvanced Propeller Design For Soaring
Engineered for thermal soaring and high-speed electric gliders, the Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades set the standard in electric flight propeller performance. Utilizing advanced carbon-fiber reinforced plastic, these blades maintain structural rigidity under high torque loads while optimizing profile geometry near the root area. When mounted on compatible Z-spinners or standard 8mm blade root yokes, the Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades fold tightly along the contours of narrow or wooden fuselages. This eliminates drag when gliding, allowing your scale sailplane to retain maximum kinetic energy in thermals while delivering instant thrust when the motor engages.

Frequently Asked QuestionsEverything you need to know
How many blades come in the package with the Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades?
Every package of Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades includes a factory-matched pair of two (2) propeller blades.
What blade root width do the Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades require?
The Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades feature a standard 8mm blade root width, making them compatible with most 8mm root yokes, precision spinners, and Z-spinners.
How is the 15x8 size measured for the Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades?
The 15x8 inch rating of the Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades is calculated using a standard 42mm middle piece (yoke). Using a smaller or larger middle piece will adjust the operational diameter and pitch accordingly.
Do the Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades require a soft start feature on the ESC?
Yes, operating the Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades requires an electronic speed controller (ESC) configured with motor soft-start enabled to protect the blade roots from violent acceleration stress.
Why do the Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades fold closer to the fuselage than standard blades?
The Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades utilize a specialized Z-profile shape near the root, allowing the blades to hug narrow and boxy glider fuselages tightly to eliminate aerodynamic drag while thermalling.
What is the maximum recommended RPM for the Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades?
The Aeronaut 15x8 CAM Folding Blades should be operated within safe rotational limits for 15-inch folding propellers, which is approximately 10,000 RPM.
