Overview
The E-flite 4-Blade Propeller, 9.8 x 6 is a genuine replacement and upgrade propeller designed for RC model aircraft that require a four-blade configuration. Identified by part number E-EFLP98604E, this propeller offers RC enthusiasts across the UK a reliable option for enhancing or maintaining their electric-powered RC planes. Whether you're a seasoned RC aircraft pilot or exploring the world of RC flying for the first time, having the correct propeller specification is essential for optimal performance, stability and flight characteristics. This 9.8-inch diameter, 6-inch pitch four-blade propeller is the perfect solution when your RC aircraft documentation specifies a 9.8x6, 4-blade setup.
Four-blade propellers deliver distinct advantages over their two-blade counterparts, particularly for RC model aircraft applications. The additional blades distribute thrust more evenly, which can result in smoother flight characteristics, improved stability and reduced vibration during flight. This makes the E-flite 4-Blade Propeller an excellent choice for RC aircraft owners looking to upgrade from standard two-blade configurations or replace worn propellers that have accumulated flight hours. As a genuine E-flite product manufactured to exacting standards, this propeller represents quality engineering that RC enthusiasts have trusted for decades.
RC Model Shop stocks genuine E-flite propellers and spares for popular models including the E-flite P-47D Thunderbolt and P-51D Mustang, ensuring you can find the correct parts for your specific RC aircraft. If you're building a new RC plane, maintaining an existing model or simply stocking spare propellers for regular flying sessions, the E-flite 4-Blade Propeller, 9.8 x 6 is an essential component worth having in your RC hobby arsenal.
Key Features
- Four-Blade Configuration — The four-blade design provides improved thrust distribution compared to two-blade propellers, resulting in smoother flight dynamics, enhanced stability and reduced vibration throughout your RC aircraft's flight envelope.
- 9.8-Inch Diameter — This specific diameter is engineered to work with RC aircraft models that specify a 9.8-inch propeller size, ensuring compatibility with your model's motor and airframe design.
- 6-Inch Pitch — The pitch measurement determines how far the propeller advances with each rotation, with the 6-inch pitch optimised for aircraft that call for this specification in their documentation.
- Genuine E-flite Product — Manufactured to the exacting standards that have made E-flite a recognised leader in RC aircraft propellers, this component is built for reliability and consistent performance.
- Direct Replacement Part — Perfectly suited for applications specified to use a 9.8x6, 4-blade configuration, making it an ideal replacement when your current propeller becomes damaged or worn from regular use.
- Spares and Upgrades Compatible — Works as both a replacement part for existing RC aircraft models and as an upgrade component for owners looking to enhance their aircraft's performance characteristics.
Technical Performance
The E-flite 4-Blade Propeller, 9.8 x 6 represents quality engineering specifically designed for RC model aircraft applications. The propeller's four-blade configuration and precise dimensional specifications (9.8-inch diameter with 6-inch pitch) have been engineered to work seamlessly with RC aircraft equipped with appropriately sized electric motors. The multi-blade design distributes rotational forces more effectively across the propeller structure, which not only contributes to smoother flight characteristics but also helps reduce stress concentrations that can occur with two-blade configurations. This engineering approach results in improved stability during flight manoeuvres, better handling characteristics and the potential for enhanced overall flight performance. RC aircraft owners who fly regularly appreciate the durability and consistent performance that genuine E-flite propellers deliver, making them a trusted choice for both casual weekend flyers and more dedicated RC aviation enthusiasts. The propeller's construction is optimised for the motor sizes and power characteristics typical of RC model aircraft in this category, ensuring that it operates within the intended performance envelope when installed on compatible aircraft models.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size is the E-flite 9.8 x 6 propeller and why does size matter for RC aircraft? — The E-flite 4-Blade Propeller measures 9.8 inches in diameter with a 6-inch pitch. Propeller size is critical for RC aircraft because it must match your specific aircraft model's motor and airframe specifications. Using the correct size ensures your aircraft flies safely, efficiently and as designed by the manufacturer. Always consult your RC aircraft's documentation to confirm the required propeller size before purchasing.
- How many blades does this propeller have and what's the advantage of four blades? — This propeller features four blades rather than the two-blade configuration found on many standard RC aircraft. Four-blade propellers distribute thrust more evenly, resulting in smoother flight characteristics, improved stability throughout the flight envelope and noticeably reduced vibration. This makes them an excellent upgrade for RC pilots seeking enhanced performance and handling characteristics.
- Is the E-flite 4-Blade Propeller a replacement part or an upgrade? — The E-flite 4-Blade Propeller, 9.8 x 6 can serve as both. It functions as a direct replacement part when your current propeller becomes damaged or worn from regular flying. Simultaneously, it can act as an upgrade component for RC aircraft owners whose documentation specifies a 9.8x6, 4-blade configuration but who may currently be running a different setup. Always check your specific aircraft's documentation to ensure compatibility.
- Which E-flite RC aircraft models use the 9.8 x 6 four-blade propeller? — The E-flite 4-Blade Propeller, 9.8 x 6 is listed as a compatible spares and upgrade part for the E-flite P-47D Thunderbolt and E-flite P-51D Mustang, among other models that specify this propeller configuration. Always refer to your specific model's documentation to confirm the correct propeller size and blade configuration for your aircraft.
- How do I know if this is the right propeller for my RC aircraft? — The most reliable way to determine compatibility is to consult your RC aircraft's official documentation, which will specify the required propeller size and blade configuration. The E-flite 4-Blade Propeller, 9.8 x 6 is correctly specified by part number E-EFLP98604E. If your documentation calls for a 9.8x6, 4-blade propeller, this is the right part for your aircraft.
