Wood blade for hobby fixed-wing aircraft

The Master Airscrew MA1880B is a wooden propeller with an 18x8 specification, intended for fixed-wing RC aircraft where wood is chosen for its handling characteristics. The 18x8 code means 18 inch diameter and 8 inch pitch, useful for many sport and scale electric models when paired with a suitable motor and ESC. This description highlights compatibility checks, installation pointers, and how pitch and diameter affect flight behavior so modelers can set and tune the propeller properly.

Mounting is straightforward for most models: check the prop bore against your motor shaft or adapter, secure the prop with the correct spinner or nut and torque, and perform static balancing before the first flight. After installing, run a ground check to verify motor and ESC current draw and to confirm vibration is acceptable. Wooden props can be trimmed lightly for balance, but any pitch alteration should be small and tested in stages.

In terms of tuning, an 18x8 wooden prop usually yields stronger midrange thrust rather than maximum speed compared with smaller, higher-pitch alternatives. Observe manufacturer limits for static thrust and motor current, and make sure your ESC and battery capacity match the demands the blade places on your chosen motor and mounting layout.

Specifications

  • Item: Propeller
  • Material: Wood
  • Model Number: MA1880B
  • Size: 18x8 (diameter x pitch)
  • Compatibility: Fixed-wing RC aircraft with matching hub bore and motor setup

If your scale or sport electric model suits an 18x8 wooden prop, the MA1880B is a straightforward choice with clear guidance on matching, balancing, and checking electrical load for safe flying.

The 18x8 marking means the propeller has an 18 inch diameter and an 8 inch pitch, which helps determine the expected advance per revolution and suits specific motor and airframe combinations.
Look for cracks, splits, or loose hub material, verify secure fastenings and spinner fit, and re-balance if any repair or adjustment has been made before flying.
It will, provided the spinner and cowl accommodate the 18 inch diameter and the hub bore or adapter allows concentric mounting without contact or interference.
Yes, changing pitch or blade area affects thrust and therefore motor current. After any modification, monitor current draw on a ground test to ensure the ESC and battery remain within safe limits.
Replace if you find structural damage such as deep cracks, delamination, or significant warping. Even hairline damage near the hub can warrant replacement for safety.
