This is the APC 17x6 Competition Propeller, a top-tier choice for competitive performance. These APC propellers are meticulously crafted using an advanced pultrusion process, allowing for a higher fiber (60%) to resin (nylon binder) density. This unique manufacturing technique imparts substantially higher strength and stiffness compared to traditional glass-filled nylon propellers. The additional stiffness plays a crucial role in controlling vibration resonance response, while the increased strength enables the use of thinner cross-sections, resulting in improved weight reduction and enhanced aerodynamic efficiency.
Key Features:
• Incorporates a computer-optimized design, resulting in a propeller with a thinner profile, increased "bite," and reduced noise generation.
• Crafted from lightweight molded nylon, these propellers effectively minimize rotating mass, resulting in higher output and an
extended operational life.
• Embedded reinforcing fibers ensure a consistent and precise pitch at any RPM.
