The Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades deliver unmatched aerodynamic performance for high-efficiency electric gliders and sailplanes. Engineered with carbon-fiber reinforced composite material and a specialized Z-profile, these high-performance RC plane folding propeller blades fold significantly tighter against narrow or box-shaped fuselages to minimize drag during unpowered flight.
Take your sailplane's gliding performance to new heights with the Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades. Developed to meet the rigorous demands of modern electric flight, these carbon-reinforced blades feature an optimized root section profile that minimizes air resistance when folded flat. Compatible with all standard 8mm blade root systems, they pair seamlessly with Aeronaut CN spinners and Z-spinners to ensure a flush aerodynamic contour along the fuselage. Ideal for performance gliders and thermal soarers, these Aeronaut CAM Carbon Z blades require a soft-start ESC setup and operate safely up to a maximum limit of 9,000 RPM.
What is included with the Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades?
Each package includes a matched pair of two Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades, factory-balanced for smooth and balanced operation on electric gliders.
What is the maximum RPM limit for the Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades?
The maximum permissible operating speed for the Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades is 9,000 RPM. Always ensure your electronic speed control (ESC) is configured with a soft-start setting.
What root size do the Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades use?
The Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades feature standard 8mm blade roots, making them compatible with standard folding propeller spinners designed for 8mm root mounts.
How does the Z-design of the Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades improve efficiency?
The specialized Z-geometry brings the propeller blades closer to the glider fuselage when folded, eliminating air gaps and significantly reducing aerodynamic drag during glide phases.
How does center piece length affect the dimensions of the Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades?
The 16.0 x 8.0" sizing calculation assumes the use of a standard 42mm middle piece. Installing these blades on smaller or larger middle pieces will decrease or increase the effective diameter and pitch accordingly.
Are the Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades compatible with standard spinners?
Yes, the Aeronaut 16.0 x 8.0" CAM Carbon Z Folding Blades fit standard 8mm root spinners, though maximum folding efficiency is achieved when used with Aeronaut Z-spinners.
