Key Features
- 8 x 6.5 Size Specification — The dimensions denote the propeller's diameter and pitch, which directly influence your aircraft's performance characteristics including climb rate, speed and efficiency, making precise sizing critical for optimal flight.
- 3-Blade Configuration — The three-blade design offers balanced performance and is a popular choice among RC aircraft pilots for its combination of efficiency and handling characteristics across a wide range of flying styles.
- Clockwise Rotation — The CW designation indicates this propeller rotates clockwise when viewed from behind, which must match your aircraft's motor and spinner setup to ensure correct installation and safe operation.
- Genuine E-flite Component — As an authentic manufacturer part identified by model number EFLP080653B, this propeller meets E-flite's quality standards and engineering specifications for reliable performance and durability.
- Ideal Spare or Replacement — Whether you need a replacement after damage or are building a spare parts collection, this propeller helps you maintain continuous flying opportunities without extended downtime waiting for repairs.
Technical Performance
The E-flite 8 x 6.5 3-Blade Propeller CW is manufactured to precise engineering standards that ensure reliable performance in RC aircraft applications. The 8-inch diameter combined with 6.5-inch pitch specification creates a specific thrust and efficiency profile suitable for aircraft designed around these parameters. The three-blade design distributes aerodynamic loads across three surfaces rather than two, contributing to smoother operation and balanced rotational characteristics. The clockwise rotation specification must be matched to your aircraft's motor configuration and spinner requirements before installation. As a genuine E-flite component, this propeller undergoes quality control processes to ensure consistency and durability through regular use. Proper installation requires verification that your aircraft's motor, spinner and hub are compatible with both the size and rotation direction of this propeller. Following your aircraft manufacturer's setup guidance and installation instructions is essential to ensure safe operation and optimal performance during flight.
What's in the Box
- 1 x E-flite 8 x 6.5 3-Blade Propeller CW
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does 8 x 6.5 mean on an RC propeller? — The first number (8) represents the propeller diameter in inches, while the second number (6.5) represents the pitch in inches. Pitch indicates how far the propeller would theoretically advance through the air in one complete rotation, directly affecting your aircraft's speed and thrust characteristics.
- Why is the CW rotation important? — CW (clockwise) rotation indicates the direction the propeller spins when viewed from behind the aircraft. It's critical that this matches your motor's shaft rotation direction and your aircraft's spinner design, as installing a propeller with incorrect rotation could cause installation problems or operational issues.
- Do I need to check compatibility before buying? — Yes, absolutely. Before purchasing or installing this propeller, you should verify that your aircraft's motor, spinner and hub are designed to accept an 8 x 6.5 propeller with clockwise rotation. Consulting your aircraft's manual or manufacturer specifications is strongly recommended.
- Is this a genuine E-flite part? — Yes, this is an authentic E-flite component identified by model number EFLP080653B. Purchasing genuine manufacturer parts ensures you receive components engineered and tested to the original specifications rather than third-party alternatives.
- Why should I keep spare propellers? — RC pilots regularly damage propellers through crashes, hard landings or ground contact. Having spare propellers on hand means you can quickly replace a damaged unit and return to flying rather than waiting for replacement parts to arrive, maximising your flying time and enjoyment.
- How do I know if this propeller is right for my aircraft? — Check your aircraft's documentation or motor specifications to confirm the required propeller size and rotation direction. If you're unsure, contact the manufacturer or consult with experienced RC pilots familiar with your specific aircraft model.
