i`m sorry i mean (8"*5")

I would use that one.

Works well with my 1400kv motor. I am getting better results with a 7'4 but it is harder to find. I was using a 6'4 but was not getting enough torque to get high in the air. 6'4 made me work harder to get same results

Dobré vrtule za dobrou cenu.

Not sure about that...they definitely fit the electric planes but for just a dollar it worth to try though ...

 Andriy 102 points

APC are stronger than GWS. they are from glas fibre not plastic. You can try them. I use them on electric 16500 rpm. it's all right.

No, you can't use it for glow engine. That propeller is made only for electric engines. Use this propeller with a glow engine can result in rupture of the propeller, because of vibrations and rpm. For glow engines use propellers dedicated to use on it. PRODUCT ID: MA0840 is the best propeller for you. And it don't cost too much.

Don't do it, I snapped one of these inflight performing a Lomcovák, they are not designed for glow engines.

This will be way to small. Stock prop is 11x6 3 blade. Going to a two blade prop, you'll need to go larger in diameter (make sure you have ground clearance). I would stick with the original size unless you have a performance reason to change it, and then make only small changes at a time.

 jack hammered 144 points

cheers, i saw on another page where people were saying this prop was ok> anyway, got any other ideas about a 2 blade prop?

 DennisT1 162 points

Here is a decent article about it - page 2 top specifically, though keep in mind you are going the other way on the conversion(remove the spaces) ... http : // masterairscrew . com / manualinstructions / SELECTING_A_PROPELLER2a . pdf

Yes you can use it...

 Gustavo 17 points

For the most cases, yes.

 GooberSB 24 points

Yes. They come with a large bore and different size reducers that snap into it. You still need to drill out a small piece of the bore, though, that acts as a stop for the reducer.

For a small plane yes but a 1500kv is better with this prop.

 Marinho 136 points

Yes, you can, I believe with the 3S batteries you have have a very good thrust.

 mick au1404 4 points

U sure can depending on what amperage ya esc is and hopefully with this prop on your motor you are not 'overamping' your esc

 BiSoN 16 points

yeap2

 John 6 points

These props are excellent, in particular I am using the 8x4 on an 1800kv motor with a 3s battery with no problems. It depends how many volts you are putting through your motor and therefore what rpm your motor is running at.

I have tryed this pro on a 1300 kv 450 motor it gets a little hot. Tryed the 7x6-E apc worked perfect. Have this on rc DC-3 twin 30 amp esc. balance is very nice.

This was another scam question from Vivek... just to let you guys know, as well as the next question was (just underneath this question) and the guy keeps getting awarded credit from Hobbyking. Notice miraculously every person that posts a question is from india that he answers from? and then vivek answers the question with a "yes" or "no" style answer and he gets credits awarded? This is a shame to the rest of the community. As well as everyone's benefits for having this "credit awarded" feature is tarnished and abused. HOBBYKING GET THIS GUY BANNED - HE IS SCAMMING YOU!

Yes well packed in plastic...

 Marinho 136 points

I bought 4 at one time and all came inside one plastic bag, not in a bubble plastic bag.

 Gustavo 17 points

It will not break in travel.

 Kstel 4 points

Yes, and its very hard to break one of this prop.

 gerryman 11795 points

nunca me llego ninguna deteriorada, saludos

 BobFuzie 9 points

the prop will be wrap with buble plastic.... dont wory......

 John 6 points

Mine always come well packed in a box, I usually buy these props to use up the weight allowance on air mail so they are usually packed in with something else.

I´m so sorry.

 Vivek 9 points

Use the small connecters which you got with th prop...

 Marinho 136 points

Use the small plastic rings that came with the prop or install a prop saver.

 GooberSB 24 points

Yes, they come with a very large bore. That's what the little rings are for that come with the prop. Find the one that fits your motor shaft the best and put it in the center of the propeller. If your motor shaft is very small (like 2mm) you may need a prop adapter that converts your shaft from 2mm or so to 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc. You need one anyway if the motor shaft is not threaded.

I use this prop in my 900 gram delta with Turnigy 3530-1700 motor and 3S LiPo It works very good, just like the original APC-E

 Vivek 9 points

very good prop..

 Gustavo 17 points

I use this one for fast flights

 GooberSB 24 points

It's very strong and doesn't break nearly as easily as a GWS prop. But it's heavier too.

 Marinho 136 points

Flying on areas with "hard floor" , sometimes is needed to balance the prop again. I use it on 2204/14 engine with good results, the 170g plane flight has a lot of power.

Very goog prop.....

 gerryman 11795 points

he tenido muy buen resultado con estas helices, hace mucho que las uso tanto en entrenadores como en 3D foamys, saludos

 Gregi 55 points

Very efficient, little heavy and little hard (not much flexible). The quality/price rate - OK. Balancing? You have to balance all props. Always. That's a rule.

 Tomas 6 points

very strong

 John 6 points

Excellent prop, I use in a flying wing with 1800Kv with a 4900 Rhino battery, and I haven't found a better prop for it despite trying several others.

 Vivek 9 points

not much of a problem... a nice prop

 pernstig 10 points

Perfektly OK. No difference compared to the original APC prop

 Marinho 136 points

Usually well balanced, but always is good to check it before install on motors.

 JRBeaman 318 points

Most everyone recommends that you balance your props. (Or at least check it.) This prop is no different. It's not that hard to do, I recommend you look into it and set yourself up with the proper gear for all your flying.

 BobFuzie 9 points

i use this prop for 2 years for my plane no problem at all....powerful with TP2409_12D motor...

 Tomas 6 points

no vibration in this prop

 Nataly 5 points

to prevent vibration, every new propeller to balance.

 Vivek 9 points

no they dont they are hard..

 pernstig 10 points

My 1200 mm delta is a pusher without undercarriage and the prop breaks immediately if not horisontal at landing, just like the original APC prop does.

 Marinho 136 points

No, but if you fly on areas with "hard floor" , sometimes is needed to balance the prop again.

 GooberSB 24 points

Nope. But they are heave for lightweight planes.

 gerryman 11795 points

son muy fuertes, te recomiendo setear el speed sin freno, asi es mas dificil de romperlas al aterrizar, se acomodan solas si tocan el suelo, logico que si el avion cae de punta, se pueden romper, saludos

 John 6 points

They do not seem to break any more easily than other similar props, and are such a good price.

 Vivek 9 points

Hmm the centre of the prop is bit big.. U vl need a bigger prop band than normal...

 GooberSB 24 points

Yes. They come with a large bore and 6 reducer rings that should fit any size motor shaft or prop saver (assuming the motor is appropriate for this prop).
