Specifications

Recommended Use

The Falcon 20x8 carbon fiber gas propeller is well suited for gas-powered RC airplanes that need a large-diameter, moderate-pitch propeller for strong pulling power, smooth throttle response, and efficient cruise performance. The 20-inch diameter combined with an 8-inch pitch makes this prop a popular choice for sport fliers, gas aerobatic aircraft, and larger gas-powered RC planes where steady, reliable thrust is the priority.

Why Choose a Falcon Carbon Fiber Gas Propeller?

Falcon carbon fiber gas propellers are a top choice for gas RC pilots who want the best combination of durability, balance, and consistent thrust performance. Carbon fiber offers significantly greater rigidity than wood, which means less blade flex under load, reduced vibration transferred to the airframe, and more consistent thrust output at higher RPM ranges common in gas engines.

• Superior rigidity reduces blade flex and vibration under gas engine load
• Hand-inspected at the factory for correct blade shape and epoxy quality
• Pre-balanced for immediate use — no waiting, just mount and fly
• High gloss finish for a clean, professional look on your aircraft
• Center hole pre-drilled to 10mm for straightforward mounting
• Trusted by gas RC pilots in sport, aerobatic, and giant-scale applications worldwide

Important Setup Notes

• Verify propeller balance before each flying session, even on factory-balanced props.
• Inspect the propeller carefully for cracks, chips, or shipping damage before installation.
• Confirm the correct engine RPM range for this prop size using your engine manufacturer's guidelines.
• Use the correct prop washer, prop nut, and spinner/backplate setup for your engine and airframe.
• Ensure adequate ground clearance and motor clearance before running the engine.
• Never stand in line with the propeller arc during engine testing or run-up.
• Replace any propeller immediately if it shows signs of damage, cracks, or delamination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this propeller for gas or electric RC airplanes?

This listing is for the gas engine version of the Falcon 20x8 carbon fiber propeller. It is designed specifically for gas-powered RC airplane engines. For electric applications, please see our Falcon electric carbon fiber propeller listings.

Can I use this on an electric motor?

This propeller is intended for gas engine applications. For electric power systems, use a Falcon electric carbon fiber or electric wood propeller in the correct size for your motor, ESC, and aircraft combination.

What is the center hub diameter?

The center hole on the Falcon 20x8 gas carbon fiber propeller is drilled to 10mm (0.3937 in. / 25/64). This fits many standard gas engine prop shafts, though always verify fitment for your specific engine before ordering.

Is the Falcon 20x8 gas propeller pre-balanced?

Yes. Falcon carbon fiber gas propellers are factory pre-balanced and hand-inspected before shipping. However, it is always good practice to verify balance yourself with a prop balancer before each use, particularly after shipping or storage.

What type of aircraft is this propeller good for?

The 20x8 size is a popular choice for gas-powered RC sport aircraft, aerobatic planes, and larger gas-powered models where a large-diameter, moderate-pitch propeller provides strong pull and smooth performance across a wide throttle range.

Does this propeller include covers?

Yes. The Falcon 20x8 carbon fiber gas propeller includes a set of propeller covers for safe storage and transport between flying sessions.
