Falcon 17x6 Wood Electric Propeller
The Falcon 17x6 Wood Electric Propeller is designed for electric-powered RC airplanes that require lightweight performance, smooth throttle response, and efficient power delivery. The 17-inch diameter combined with a 6-inch pitch provides strong thrust and predictable handling characteristics for sport flying, aerobatics, and lightweight electric aircraft applications.
This propeller features an 8mm center hub hole, making it compatible with many common electric RC motor adapter systems. Always verify your prop adapter, collet, and mounting hardware compatibility before installation.
Falcon wood electric propellers are known for their lightweight construction, clean finish, and aerodynamic blade shaping. Compared with many plastic propellers, wood propellers can offer faster spool-up, reduced rotational inertia, and a more responsive feel in the air.
The 17x6 size is especially popular for electric RC aircraft that benefit from smooth low-speed control and efficient thrust generation while maintaining stable flight characteristics.
✅ Best Used For:
- Electric RC airplanes
- Sport flying
- Aerobatic aircraft
- Lightweight electric setups
- Smooth throttle response applications
