Enhanced aerodynamic performance output
Glider Propulsion PerformanceNext level electric flight efficiency
The Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades deliver outstanding aerodynamic efficiency for high-performance RC gliders and sailplanes. Engineered with carbon fiber reinforced composite material, these folding propeller blades provide lower drag when folded closely against narrow aircraft fuselages. Perfect for demanding electric flight setups, they offer reliable thrust and smooth power delivery.
Engineered Aerodynamic ExcellencePrecision carbon blades for sailplanes
Upgrade your glider's power system with the high-precision Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades. Long regarded as the benchmark in RC airplane electric propulsion, the CAM carbon blade profile features an optimized root section to drastically reduce drag when non-powered. By resting flush against both round and box-shaped fuselage contours, these blades minimize air resistance during glide phases for longer flight times and flatter glide angles.
Designed to fit standard 8mm blade roots, the Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades seamlessly integrate with standard precision spinners and specialized Z-spinners. Molded from carbon-reinforced plastic, they offer exceptional stiffness and structural integrity to maintain performance even under high torque loads from modern brushless motors. Always ensure motor soft-start is activated and observe maximum recommended RPM limits for safe operation.

Frequently Asked QuestionsEverything you need to know
What is included with the Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades?
The package includes a matched pair (two individual blades) of Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades designed to fit standard 8mm root spinners.
What size blade root do the Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades require?
The Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades feature an 8mm blade root width, making them compatible with standard folding propeller spinners and CN Z-spinners.
Can I use the Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades on any spinner middle piece?
Yes, these blades fit any spinner with an 8mm root width. However, keep in mind that propeller size ratings are calculated using a 42mm middle piece; smaller or larger middle pieces will alter the effective diameter and pitch of the Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades.
Do the Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades require a soft start on the motor ESC?
Yes, operating the Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades requires activating the soft-start function on your electronic speed control (ESC) to avoid sudden high-torque stress on the folding mechanism.
What material are the Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades made from?
The Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades are constructed from high-quality plastic reinforced with carbon fibers, offering superior rigidity and aerodynamic performance.
Are the Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades suitable for narrow glider fuselages?
Yes, the optimized profile near the root section allows the Aeronaut 17x11 CAM Folding Blades to fold closer to both round and box-shaped fuselages, significantly reducing drag.
