This genuine E-flite propeller is specifically designed as the standard replacement part for the Decathlon 1.2m, one of the most popular trainer aircraft in the RC aeroplane community. Propellers are consumable items that can suffer damage from hard landings, ground strikes, or normal wear and tear during flight operations, making spare propellers an indispensable part of any RC pilot's toolkit.

RC aeroplane flying requires precision equipment, and using the correct propeller specification is fundamental to achieving optimal flight performance, efficiency and safety. This straightforward replacement option allows you to get back in the air quickly without compromising on quality or risking damage to your aircraft from using incorrect or damaged propellers.
Whether you fly recreationally at your local RC club or fly regularly as part of your RC hobby UK, having spare propellers on hand demonstrates good field practice and ensures you're never grounded for long due to propeller damage. The Decathlon 1.2m is renowned for its stability and beginner-friendly characteristics, and this authentic E-flite propeller maintains those performance standards.
Key Features
- 10 x 5 Propeller Size — This specific 10 x 5 dimension means a 10-inch diameter with a 5-inch pitch, which has been engineered by E-flite to provide optimal thrust and efficiency for the Decathlon 1.2m airframe, ensuring smooth acceleration and reliable flight characteristics across a range of flying conditions.
- Genuine E-flite OEM Part — As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) propeller from E-flite, this component is guaranteed to meet the exact specifications required by the Decathlon 1.2m, eliminating the guesswork and ensuring perfect fitment every time you install it.
- Standard Replacement Component — This propeller is identified as the standard part for the Decathlon 1.2m, meaning it comes as the factory-fitted option and is the recommended choice for replacement, ensuring you're getting the part that Horizon Hobby engineers specified for this aircraft.
- Essential Spare for Field Box — Having a spare propeller stored in your field box means you can quickly swap out a damaged prop and continue flying, rather than cutting your flying session short and heading home for repairs or replacements.
- Durable Construction — E-flite propellers are manufactured to withstand the demands of regular RC flight operations, providing reliable performance through numerous flights whilst maintaining structural integrity.
Technical Performance
The E-flite Prop 10 x 5 is engineered with precision to deliver consistent aerodynamic performance for the Decathlon 1.2m electric trainer aircraft. The 10-inch diameter provides an appropriate swept area for generating adequate thrust from the aircraft's brushless motor system, whilst the 5-inch pitch determines the theoretical distance the propeller advances per revolution, balancing thrust generation with motor efficiency. This specification has been carefully selected by E-flite's engineering team to ensure the Decathlon 1.2m achieves its designed flight envelope, including smooth slow-speed handling characteristics that make it an excellent trainer for pilots progressing through the RC aeroplane hobby in the UK. The propeller's design optimises the power delivery from the aircraft's electric power system, whether you're operating the Decathlon RJG 1.2m BNF (Bind-N-Fly) Basic model with AS3X and SAFE technology, or the PNP (Plug-N-Play) variant. The materials and manufacturing process employed by E-flite ensure consistency from one propeller to the next, so replacement propellers perform identically to the original factory-fitted component.
