More power for the Cap. This Flex Innovations 16×7 two-blade wood propeller is the factory upgrade prop for the Flex Cap 232 60E — lighter than the stock prop and swinging more power, it sharpens throttle response and vertical performance in exactly the way a giant aerobat's pilot wants. Wood is the aerobatic prop material for good reason: stiff, light, smooth-running and quiet, holding its shape under load where flexible props lose their pitch.

The Honest Trade-Off

More power costs amps: Flex's own guidance is to expect around 10% less flight time from the higher current draw. That's the deal — you're trading duration for performance, and knowing it beforehand is the difference between an upgrade and a surprise. Per Flex, this prop is not recommended for the Cessna 170 60E — keep the Cessna on its standard prop.

Electric Aircraft Only

The E designation means electric: this wood prop is designed and rated for electric power systems. As with any wood prop, check the bore and mounting against your motor's shaft and adapter before first run, torque the prop bolts evenly, and re-check after the first flights — wood beds in. 16-inch prop covers make good travelling companions for a prop this size.
