Falcon 16x9 Carbon Fiber Gas Propeller
The Falcon 16x9 Carbon Fiber Gas Propeller is a 2-blade propeller for gas and glow-powered RC aircraft that need a balanced mix of forward speed, throttle response, and lightweight carbon fiber construction.
With its 16-inch diameter and 9-inch pitch, this propeller is a strong choice for sport, aerobatic, and everyday gas-powered RC airplanes where a higher-pitch setup is desired for cleaner forward flight and increased airspeed compared to lower-pitch options.
Best For
The 16x9 is commonly considered for smaller gas and glow RC airplanes where pilots want efficient forward flight and responsive throttle feel.
- Sport and aerobatic RC airplanes
- Gas and glow-powered aircraft
- Pilots wanting more forward speed than a lower-pitch propeller
- Everyday flying where carbon fiber stiffness and durability are preferred
Precision Built & Pre-Balanced
This propeller features an 8mm center hole, approximately 0.315". Falcon carbon fiber gas propellers are individually inspected and pre-balanced for smooth operation and reduced vibration.
Included: Falcon propeller blade covers are included for storage and transport protection.

Gator RC Modeler’s Tip: 16x9 Flight Characteristics
A 16x9 propeller generally favors more forward speed than a lower-pitch option like a 16x8, while still maintaining usable pull for sport and aerobatic flying. Always verify final propeller choice against engine RPM range, airframe clearance, and manufacturer recommendations.
