Overview
About Gemfan Hurricane 51466 V2 Propellers (set of 4).
The Gemfan Hurricane 51466 V2 is a 5.1-inch, three-blade polycarbonate racing propeller engineered for high-speed FPV and freestyle quadcopters. The V2 revision keeps the signature low weight of roughly 4.2 grams per blade while reinforcing the hub and refining the airfoil, so the prop holds its shape and tracking accuracy even when loaded hard by powerful 6S motors. Sold as a balanced set of four (two clockwise and two counter-clockwise), it is a direct fit for the M5 motor shaft used across modern brushless racing motors.
In flight, the tri-blade layout trades a small amount of top efficiency for noticeably crisper throttle response, stronger grip in tight cornering and a planted feel that racers and freestyle pilots both value. The polycarbonate construction is intentionally springy, so the blades flex and survive minor strikes rather than shattering on every contact, which keeps a flying session going and reduces consumable spend over time.
This propeller suits builders running 2206 to 2306 class motors on 5-inch frames who want a proven, widely stocked racing prop. It is a strong default choice for pilots who fly aggressively and crash often, and who prefer one well-balanced prop they can buy repeatedly rather than constantly re-tuning around different blade profiles.
Key features
Why it stands out.
V2 reinforced hub and refined airfoil improve durability and high-speed stability versus the original
Lightweight polycarbonate blades (~4.2 g each) reduce rotating mass for faster acceleration
Springy PC material flexes on impact to survive minor crashes instead of shattering
Balanced set of four (2 CW + 2 CCW) on a standard M5 bore fits common 5-inch racing motors

Buying guide
How to choose.
Match the 51466 to a 5-inch frame with 2206-2306 motors on 4S-6S. The tri-blade profile favours response and grip over raw efficiency, so if you prioritise flight time over agility a two-blade prop will give you more minutes per pack; if you want sharp, locked-in handling for racing or freestyle, the three-blade Hurricane is the better fit.
Always run a balanced set: two CW and two CCW per quad. Keep spares on hand because racing and freestyle are hard on props. Polycarbonate Hurricanes flex and survive light strikes, but heavy impacts will still nick or crack a blade, and a damaged prop introduces vibration that degrades video and flight feel.
If you are migrating from another 5-inch tri-blade, expect similar mounting and a comparable feel, with the V2 offering a stiffer, more durable hub. Confirm your motors use the standard M5 shaft, which is the norm for this motor class, and inspect each blade before flight.
FAQ
Common questions.
What size and bore is the Hurricane 51466 V2?
It is a 5.1-inch three-blade propeller with a Gemfan-rated 3.6-inch pitch and a standard M5 (5 mm) shaft bore. That bore fits the vast majority of 2206 to 2306 class brushless motors used on 5-inch FPV quadcopters, so no adapter is normally required.
How much does each propeller weigh?
Each blade weighs about 4.2 grams in polycarbonate. The low rotating mass is a key reason the Hurricane accelerates quickly and responds sharply to throttle inputs, which is why it is popular with racers and freestyle pilots running 5-inch setups.
What is different about the V2 version?
Gemfan reinforced the hub and refined the blade airfoil on the V2. The result is around 20 percent more durability and better high-speed stability, while keeping the same lightweight feel and control character as the original Hurricane 51466.
Does the set include both rotation directions?
Yes. The set of four contains two clockwise and two counter-clockwise propellers, which is exactly what a single quadcopter needs. Always fit the correct rotation to each motor position so the airframe is properly balanced.
Is polycarbonate durable enough for crashes?
Polycarbonate is intentionally springy, so the blades flex and absorb light strikes rather than shattering. This makes the Hurricane forgiving in freestyle and racing. Heavy impacts can still crack a blade, so inspect props after every crash and replace any that are nicked.
What motors pair well with this prop?
It is designed for 2206 to 2306 class motors on 5-inch frames, typically on 4S to 6S power. Pairing it with motors in this range gives the balanced thrust and response the tri-blade profile is tuned for.
