Reverse/Pusher 3-Blade Prop 5x3 MA0530TEP for Small Electric RC Models Master Airscrew  [MA0530TEP]

Design and Performance Notes for Pusher Use

The Master Airscrew MA0530TEP is a 3-blade propeller marked 5x3, intended for reverse or pusher installations on compact electric RC aircraft. The tri-blade geometry modifies airflow and produces a different thrust delivery and tonal quality compared with two-blade props when installed behind the motor.

Prior to installation, verify motor rotation and that the prop faces the correct way for a reverse/pusher configuration; attach the prop to a suitable adapter or hub and secure it to the shaft using the recommended retaining hardware. Make sure the propeller clears the fuselage and any control linkages at full deflection.

Balance the MA0530TEP on a prop balancer after any impact and inspect blades for chips or warp. Keeping the prop well balanced cuts vibration through the motor and airframe, improving longevity and flight consistency. Tuning changes should be made in small steps and logged since minor blade condition or mounting changes can noticeably affect throttle response and cruise stability.
