Upgrade your RC sailplane performance with the high-efficiency Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades, engineered specifically for modern electric flight and glider setups. Featuring carbon-reinforced construction and an optimized root profile, these folding propeller blades deliver maximum thrust while minimizing aerodynamic drag when folded.
Precision Engineered Folding BladesMaximized drag reduction and efficiency
The Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades represent a major advancement in folding propeller technology for high-performance RC gliders and sailplanes. Built from high-grade carbon fiber reinforced plastic, these replacement blades provide exceptional rigidity under heavy motor loads while remaining ultra-lightweight. Designed to fit standard 8mm blade roots, the CAMcarbon series features an optimized Z-shape geometry that allows the blades to fold flush against narrow or box-shaped sailplane fuselages, eliminating unwanted gap drag in unpowered soaring. Perfect for use with Aeronaut Z-spinners or standard CN precision hubs, the Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades require a soft-start ESC setup and provide unmatched efficiency for thermal hunting and high-speed gliding.

Frequently Asked QuestionsEverything you need to know
What comes included in the box with the Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades?
Each package of the Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades includes one matched pair containing two perfectly balanced folding propeller blades.
What hub root thickness do the Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades fit?
The Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades feature a standard 8mm blade root thickness, making them compatible with standard folding propeller yokes and CN precision spinners.
Do I need a specific ESC setting when using the Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades?
Yes, you must use a soft-start motor configuration on your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) to prevent sudden rotational shock and damage to the Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades.
Why is the Z-shape profile useful on the Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades?
The specialized Z-shape geometry allows the Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades to fold exceptionally close against narrow or square glider fuselages, greatly reducing drag when the motor is stopped.
How does middle piece sizing affect the Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades?
The rated 17x9 dimension is based on using a 42mm middle piece yoke; using a wider or narrower yoke will slightly change both the total diameter and pitch.
Are the Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades constructed from real carbon fiber?
The Aeronaut 17x9 CAM Folding Blades are injection-molded from advanced composite plastic reinforced with genuine carbon fibers for ultimate stiffness.
