This APC AP13065E propeller is supplied as an RC-scale replacement for electric-powered models. The 13x6.5 marking denotes diameter and pitch; pick this size to match your motor RPM and the aircraft's aerodynamic profile rather than any full-size application.
Installation guidance: check motor shaft diameter and hub fit, fit the correct collet or prop adapter for your motor, and secure the prop with the appropriate nut or retaining device. After mounting, rotate the prop by hand to confirm clearance from the airframe and control surfaces.
Tuning role: the 13x6.5 specification influences static thrust and top speed—higher pitch typically moves the powerband toward higher speed while reducing static thrust. Perform incremental tests with a static thrust meter or telemetry where possible, and watch motor temperature and ESC load when swapping props.
Maintenance notes: inspect regularly for nicks, cracks, and hub wear, rebalance if vibration appears, and replace the prop if any structural damage is found.
