APC-Landing Products Slow Flyer Propeller, 11 x 4.7 SF, APC11047SF
11 x 4.7 Slow Flyer Propeller The molding compound used in APC propellers is manufactured using a pultrusion process. This method causes the fiberglass "fibers" to be oriented axially in 1/2" long pellets. This long fiber compound allows a higher fiber (60%) to resin (nylon binder) density than short or chopped fiber compounds. Viscous (skinning) affects during injection molding cause these long fibers to remain dominantly oriented in the propeller span-wise axis. This provides substantially higher strength and stiffness compared to more conventional processes, which use short or chopped fibers.
