Overview of gemfan 7×6 vortex prop
The gemfan 7×6 vortex prop is a 7 inch diameter by 6 inch pitch two pack designed for fixed wing models and small multirotors that need dependable thrust with predictable handling. Thanks to a glass fiber reinforced nylon blend, this set offers an excellent strength to weight ratio and maintains smooth tracking at higher RPM, so launches feel confident, mid throttle pull is solid, and cruise speeds stay efficient.
Specs and Materials
These props use an electric grade glass fiber nylon composite that balances rigidity and impact resistance. The material choice reduces flex under load, which helps preserve effective pitch at speed. In addition, the molded finish supports quick balancing with minimal sanding, so you can get airborne sooner.
Fitment and Compatibility
A 7 by 6 profile suits park flyers, FPV wings, and light planes that call for a moderate diameter with a bit more bite. With the proper shaft adapter or collet, installation is straightforward on common electric motors. Always verify rotation direction, ground clearance, and canopy or duct spacing before the maiden.
Performance Tuning for 7×6 Geometry
Expect lively throttle response and firm forward bite from the 6 inch pitch. For example, wings gain harder pulls out of banked turns, while lightweight airplanes track cleanly during fast passes. If high throttle oscillations appear, a small gyro or PID filter tweak on flight controller equipped models usually settles the airframe. Also, match prop load to motor Kv to keep temperatures in check and preserve battery life.
Installation and Safety
Before mounting, inspect for molding residue and run a quick balance. Then snug the nut or collet to manufacturer specifications and recheck after the first pack. Furthermore, keep hands clear during bench tests, power up with props off when configuring electronics, and wear eye protection in the shop.
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. Therefore, longevity improves and vibration stays low.
Who It Is For
Builders chasing efficient speed on park flyers, FPV wings, or small drones will appreciate this balanced 7×6 option. It rewards pilots who want crisp throttle feel, straightforward setup, and dependable materials without extra weight. For simple performance gains without reworking the airframe, this VORTEX pair is a practical upgrade for everyday flying.
