This APC AP13055EP propeller is an RC-scale replacement built for rear-mounted electric pusher applications, marked 13x5.5WEP to indicate diameter and pitch in the common RC format. The wide blade moves more area ahead of the hub to boost low speed thrust and smooth throttle response when installed on pusher motor layouts.
Installation is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: confirm prop rotation matches the intended thrust direction, fasten with the correct nut or shaft adapter, and static-balance before each flight. The propeller affects aerodynamics - blade shape and pitch change acceleration, climb rate, and idle handling, so expect a difference in throttle feel and the effective thrust band when switching to this wide profile.
When fitting the propeller, verify hub fit and thread match your motor shaft and adapter, ensure the prop clears the airframe and control surfaces, and monitor motor current and ESC temperature after the swap. Inspect blades regularly for chips or cracks and replace any damaged unit immediately to prevent vibration or loss of control.
