Falcon 17x6 Carbon Fiber Gas Propeller
The Falcon 17x6 Carbon Fiber Gas Propeller is a 2-blade propeller for gas and glow-powered RC aircraft that need strong low-speed pull, responsive throttle control, and lightweight carbon fiber construction.
With its 17-inch diameter and 6-inch pitch, this propeller is well suited for sport, aerobatic, and 3D-style flying where strong thrust and controllable low-speed performance are more important than maximum top-end speed.
Best For
The 17x6 is commonly considered for smaller gas and glow RC airplanes where strong pull and quick throttle response are desired.
- Sport and aerobatic RC airplanes
- 3D-style flying setups
- Gas and glow-powered aircraft
- Pilots prioritizing thrust over top-end speed
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.
Important: Always perform a final balance check before installation, especially after shipping, storage, or handling.
Key Features
- Carbon Fiber Construction: Lightweight and rigid material designed for high-performance gas and glow RC aircraft.
- 17-Inch Diameter: Provides strong airflow and pull for smaller gas-powered aircraft setups.
- 6-Inch Pitch: Helps favor thrust, acceleration, and low-speed control over maximum top-end speed.

Gator RC Modeler’s Tip: Thrust vs. Speed
A 17x6 propeller generally favors stronger low-speed pull and throttle response compared to a higher-pitch option like a 17x8. For more top-end speed or longer sport-flying passes, a higher-pitch prop may be a better fit. Always verify final propeller choice against engine RPM range, airframe clearance, and manufacturer recommendations.
