This 1045 RC Propeller is a high-efficiency aerodynamic blade designed specifically for multirotors, quadcopters, and fixed-wing RC aircraft. With its 10-inch diameter and 4.5-inch pitch, it provides the perfect balance of high lift and stable flight performance, making it a favorite for both beginner pilots and intermediate hobbyists.
The propeller is engineered with a rigid airfoil shape that minimizes flexing during high-RPM maneuvers, ensuring consistent thrust and reduced vibration.
Detailed Product Features
- Optimal Performance: Specifically tuned for mid-sized drones (like those using the F450 or F550 frames). The 4.5" pitch allows for responsive acceleration and precise control during hovering and flight.
- High-Durability Material: Manufactured from high-quality ABS plastic or Nylon, providing a lightweight yet tough construction that can withstand minor impacts and high centrifugal forces.
- Precision Balance: Each blade is factory-molded for high symmetry to minimize "jello" effects in aerial videos and reduce wear on your motor bearings.
- Universal Compatibility: The center hub is designed to fit most standard brushless motors (like the popular A2212 1000KV series). It usually includes a set of adapter rings (spacers) to accommodate different shaft diameters (3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, etc.).
Technical Parameters
- Diameter: 10 inches (approx. 254mm).
- Pitch: 4.5 inches.
- Rotation Options: Available in CW (Clockwise) and CCW (Counter-Clockwise) to provide the counter-torque needed for stable multirotor flight.
- Hub Thickness: ~8mm.
- Weight: Approximately 10–12 grams per blade.
Common Use Cases
- Custom Drone Builds: The standard propeller for DIY quadcopters used in hobby flying or university engineering projects.
- Aerial Photography: Provides the smooth, steady lift required for carrying small action cameras or FPV (First Person View) gear.
- RC Airplanes: Used as a tractor (front-mounted) or pusher (rear-mounted) propeller for park flyers and slow-flyer planes.
Maintenance & Safety Tip
Always check your propellers for small cracks or "white stress marks" before every flight. A damaged propeller can fail mid-air, leading to a crash. It is recommended to use a propeller balancer for the smoothest possible flight experience.
