Gemfan 6×6 VORTEX Electric Glass Fiber Nylon Airplane/Wing/Drone Prop (2 Pcs)

Overview

The gemfan 6×6 vortex prop is a versatile 6 inch diameter by 6 inch pitch pair designed for fixed wing models and small multirotors that need dependable thrust and predictable handling. Its glass fiber reinforced nylon blend delivers an excellent strength to weight ratio while maintaining smooth tracking at higher RPM. Consequently, you can expect confident launches, clean acceleration, and efficient cruise speeds without excessive amp draw.

Specs and Materials

These props are molded from an electric grade glass fiber nylon composite that balances rigidity with impact resistance. The material reduces flex under load, which helps preserve effective pitch at speed. In addition, the smooth molded surface makes balancing quick, so you spend less time at the bench and more time in the air.

Fitment and Compatibility

The 6×6 size suits park flyers, FPV wings, and micro planes that call for a 6 inch diameter with moderate to higher pitch. With the appropriate shaft adapters or collets, installation is straightforward on common electric motor setups. Always confirm rotation direction, ground clearance, and canopy or duct spacing before your maiden.

Performance Tuning for 6×6 Geometry

Expect lively throttle response with strong forward bite from the 6 inch pitch. Wings benefit from firm pull out of turns, while lightweight airplanes get steadier tracking during fast passes. If high throttle oscillations appear, a small gyro or PID filter tweak on FC equipped models typically settles the airframe. Also, matching prop load to motor Kv keeps temperatures in check and preserves battery life.

Installation and Safety

Before mounting, check for molding residue and run a quick balance. Snug the nut or collet to manufacturer specs and recheck after the first pack. Keep hands clear during bench tests, power up with props off when configuring electronics, and wear eye protection during installs.

Durability and Care

Reinforced nylon stands up to routine grass landings and minor scuffs. Nevertheless, inspect blade roots after rough arrivals and retire any prop that shows deep nicks or stress whitening. A light wipe with isopropyl alcohol keeps the finish clean and reduces grime buildup near the hub.

Who It Is For

Builders chasing efficient speed on park flyers, FPV wings, or small drones will appreciate this balanced 6×6 option. It rewards pilots who want crisp throttle feel, straightforward setup, and dependable materials without extra weight. For simple performance gains without reworking your airframe, the gemfan 6×6 vortex prop is a practical upgrade.
