Precision Glider PropulsionEnhanced Efficiency For Electric Sailplanes
Upgrade your sailplane performance with the Aeronaut 8x5 CAM Folding Blades, Reverse Rotation, designed specifically for electric glider setups. Utilizing CAMcarbon technology, these folding propeller blades lay exceptionally close to narrow or box-shaped glider fuselages to drastically minimize aerodynamic drag. Designed for smooth, high-efficiency power delivery in an RC airplane setup, this matched pair guarantees balanced operation and superior soaring performance.
Advanced Propeller EngineeringOptimized Drag Reduction For Electric Flight
Engineered for maximum soaring efficiency, the Aeronaut 8x5 CAM Folding Blades, Reverse Rotation represent the gold standard in electric flight propulsion. Crafted from durable plastic reinforced with high-grade carbon fibers, these blades provide exceptional structural rigidity without adding unnecessary weight to your aircraft nose. The specialized profile in the root area is custom-tailored for narrow glider hulls, allowing the folding blades to tuck seamlessly against the fuselage when the motor is stopped.
Featuring a standard 8mm root width, the Aeronaut 8x5 CAM Folding Blades, Reverse Rotation are compatible with a wide range of precision hubs and spinners, including Aeronaut CN and Z-spinners. Designed for setups requiring reverse pitch, these RC aircraft replacement blades deliver precise throttle response when used with brushless motors equipped with a soft-start function. Calculated based on a standard 42mm middle piece, this matched blade set offers reliable performance for high-efficiency electric soaring.
