Thrust 50
Outside Diameter _ 41.7mm/1.64” * Unrestricted airflow and air scoops are mandatory to ensure long service life and long term performance consistency. Extended Continuous Operation without the required cooling provisions may be detrimental to the coils and magnets and will void warranty. ** 2 x PA 3cells (11.1V) 2200mAh V2 packs are recommended (plugged in series). With 4 cells pack the chosen propeller must fit within the motor’s limits (current drawn). The PA Thrust 50 is an excellent motor for .40-.60 size electric aircraft conversions. |

Prop selection with 2xPA2200mah 20C-40C V2 Packs (6s)
VOX 14x7 - Good lower range overall propeller for sport/IMAC with decent freestyle and 3D performance. It allows good flight duration with fast throttle response and is best used on a calm weather. It allows slower harriers but with less stability and ailerons authority during hovering and high AOA maneuvers when compared to the VOX 15X7
APC 14x7E - Provides nice speed and performance for IMAC with good tumbles but less stable high AOA flight with lesser ailerons authority than the VOX 14x7. However it draws similar current as the VOX 15x7 with lesser performance and prop wash therefore not a great option.
VOX T50-X - Excellent overall midrange propeller for 3D, freestyle and pattern. Optimum balance of thrust and speed. Provides good prop wash for slow speed high AOA maneuvers.
VOX 15X7 - Perfect match to the Thrust 50! Excellent higher range propeller for 3D, freestyle aerobatics and pattern flying. Great balance of thrust and speed that allows a wider performance envelope for aggressive flying. Double check the integrity of your plane’s motor box to ensure it can withstand the increased loads. This is THE prop for the Extra MX especially for low and slow 3D. Even though it draws much lower amps than the APC 15x7E it produces a similar whopping 10.55lb of thrust!! This clearly demonstrates the efficiency and advantage of the VOX over the APC! Adequate airflow to cool down the motor and ESC is mandatory, as well as strict throttle management (using full power only on vertical climbs due to its tremendous thrust).
A note about the Extra MX performance with this prop - Great speed, faster rolling rate, nasty tumbles and waterfalls with a very nice prop sound. It draws more amp than the VOX 14x7 but with the MX efficient design and lightweight it provides similar flight duration as less throttle is needed to fly the plane. Excellent ailerons authority allows more stable and controlled hovering, TR and harriers.
APC 15x7E - If you desire a little more speed than the VOX 15x7 then this prop might suit you better. Careful throttle management is essential when flying with the APC 15X7E. Not recommended for the Extra MX.
APC 15x8E - This is the highest range prop for the T50 and a good overall prop for 3D and freestyle for heavy models (6lb+ AUW). Much faster flight speed BUT lower efficiency and higher current drawn (= shorter flight duration) than the VOX 15x7 with less thrust and should only be used with a battery capacity of 3000mAH or above.
NOTE: Adequate airflow to cool down the motor and ESC is mandatory, as well as strict throttle management. Not recommended for the Extra MX.
We recommend getting a few different size propellers with your Thrust 50 motor. Swapping a propeller is an easy task so you may want to experiment and feel the difference to fit different style of flying. Also in a hot summer day you may want to use a smaller propeller while in a cooler day you can run the motor with a larger propeller.
