Aerodynamic Sailplane PowerEfficient blades for electric gliders
The Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades deliver maximum efficiency and performance for electric flight enthusiasts. Engineered with an optimized root profile and carbon fiber composite materials, these RC glider propeller blades fold closely against narrow fuselages to drastically reduce aerodynamic drag during soaring. Upgrade your sailplane setup with the precision quality of Aeronaut folding propellers.
Engineered Carbon Folding TechnologyStreamlined design for electric RC sailplanes
Designed to set the standard in electric RC glider propulsion, the Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades feature an innovative shape tailored for tight folding against slim wooden or composite hulls. Manufactured from high-grade carbon fiber reinforced plastic, these blades offer incredible rigidity, structural strength, and low rotational mass. Compatible with standard 8mm blade root spinner hubs, including Aeronaut CN and Z-spinners, these folding prop blades provide exceptionally smooth power output and improved unpowered glide ratios when paired with soft-start brushless motor ESCs.

Frequently Asked QuestionsEverything you need to know
What is included in the package of Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades?
Each package contains a matched pair of two (2) Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades balanced for immediate installation on your RC glider.
What root width do the Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades use?
The Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades feature a standard 8mm blade root width, making them compatible with standard folding prop yokes and spinners.
How does the middle piece size affect the Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades?
The 8x6 specification for the Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades is calculated using a standard 42mm middle piece (yoke). Using a smaller or larger middle piece will decrease or increase the effective overall diameter and pitch accordingly.
What motor ESC settings should be used with Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades?
You must configure your brushless ESC motor settings to use a soft start (brake/soft acceleration) when running the Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades to prevent sudden mechanical stress or damage upon motor spool-up.
Can the Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades fit Z-spinners?
Yes, while the Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades fit any 8mm root system, using them with Aeronaut Z-spinners (CN) achieves the tightest possible fold against the fuselage for minimum flight drag.
What material is used in manufacturing Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades?
Aeronaut 8x6 CAM Carbon Folding Blades are molded using high-quality plastic reinforced with carbon fibers for lightweight durability and flex resistance under high load.
