Technical Performance
The E-flite 9 x 4.6 Electric Slow Flyer Propeller represents precision engineering optimised specifically for the demands of lightweight electric-powered RC aircraft. The 9-inch diameter combined with 4.6-inch pitch creates an efficient blade geometry that generates the modest, controllable thrust required by slow flyer builds, where excessive power and aggressive acceleration would destabilise the delicate flight characteristics these models are engineered to deliver. Electric slow flyers typically utilise small brushless motors operating on lower voltage battery packs, and this propeller's design ensures the motor operates within its optimal efficiency range, maximising flight duration whilst maintaining stable, predictable handling. The lightweight construction minimises rotational inertia, allowing responsive control inputs without aggressive power delivery. As an original E-flite component, this propeller is manufactured to exacting tolerances ensuring perfect balance across both blades, eliminating vibration that could compromise flight smoothness or accelerate wear on motor bearings. The propeller diameter of 9 inches is suitable for slow flyer airframes typically weighing between 300 and 800 grams, making this a versatile replacement option for numerous slow flyer designs and builds operating across the UK RC aircraft community.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What aircraft models does the 9 x 4.6 electric slow flyer propeller fit? — This propeller is designed for electric slow flyer models that specify a 9 x 4.6 propeller size. Check your aircraft's manual or specification sheet to confirm compatibility before ordering. The part number EFL01988 and manufacturer number 605482163023 provide precise identification to match against your model's requirements.
- Is this a genuine E-flite component? — Yes, this is an authentic E-flite propeller manufactured to the brand's exacting specifications. RC Model Shop is an authorised retailer stocking genuine E-flite products, ensuring you receive an original component rather than an imitation or generic substitute that may not deliver the intended flight performance.
- Why choose an original propeller rather than a generic alternative? — Original E-flite propellers are engineered specifically for the slow flyer category and balanced to precision standards that generic alternatives often cannot match. Using the correct original propeller ensures your aircraft flies with the stability, efficiency and handling characteristics its designers intended, and maintains warranty coverage if required.
- How quickly can I receive this propeller from RC Model Shop? — This propeller is held in stock and usually dispatches the same working day. UK shipping is available with standard and express options to suit your needs, getting your replacement component to you swiftly so you can return to flying without extended downtime.
- What is the difference between propeller pitch and diameter? — Propeller diameter (the 9 in this product's 9 x 4.6 specification) determines how much air the propeller moves with each revolution, whilst pitch (the 4.6 specification) determines how far forward the aircraft moves with each complete propeller rotation. The combination of both values creates the specific thrust and efficiency characteristics required by slow flyer designs.
- Can I use this propeller on different aircraft? — This propeller is optimised specifically for electric slow flyer applications. Using it on models designed for different propeller specifications or flight characteristics may result in poor performance, excessive strain on the motor, or unstable flight behaviour. Always verify your aircraft's propeller specification before purchasing replacements.
