5x3 MA0530TEP 3-Blade Reverse Propeller for Small Electric RC Models by Master Airscrew  [MA0530TEP]

Pusher Propeller Characteristics

The Master Airscrew MA0530TEP is a 3-blade 5x3 prop intended for reverse or pusher configurations on small electric models. Its three-blade profile alters the airflow pattern versus two-blade props, resulting in a different thrust curve and sound when used in a pusher position.

When fitting this prop, check motor rotation and required prop direction for a reverse/pusher installation; mount the prop to an appropriate adapter or hub and fasten it securely to the shaft with the correct retaining hardware. Confirm that the blades clear the fuselage and any moving linkages through their full travel.

Always balance the MA0530TEP on a prop balancer and examine blades for nicks or warping after impacts. A balanced prop reduces vibration transmitted into the powertrain and airframe, improving servo response and data stability. During setup, make incremental adjustments and record performance changes since small blade or pitch variations can noticeably change acceleration and cruise handling.
