This is the APC 8x6 Slow Flyer Propeller, a high-quality propeller designed specifically for slow-flying applications. APC propellers are manufactured using an advanced pultrusion process, resulting in a higher fiber (60%) to resin (nylon binder) density. This exceptional manufacturing technique surpasses the strength and stiffness of traditional glass-filled nylon propellers.
The additional stiffness of these propellers plays a key role in controlling vibration resonance response, ensuring a smooth and stable flight experience. Moreover, the higher strength allows for the use of thinner cross-sections, leading to reduced weight and improved aerodynamic efficiency.
Key Features:
• Incorporates a computer-optimized design, resulting in a thinner profile and enhanced bite with minimal noise
• Constructed with lightweight molded nylon material, reducing rotating mass for increased output and prolonged propeller life
• Features reinforcing fibers that maintain a consistent pitch at any RPM, ensuring reliable and consistent performance
