The APC AP13055EP propeller is an RC replacement option intended for electric pusher and reverse applications, with the 13x5.5WEP marking showing diameter and pitch in the common RC format. Its wide blade moves more area forward of the hub to increase low speed thrust and produce a steadier response on rear-mounted motor installations.
For fitting, verify that the propeller rotation corresponds to the desired thrust, use the correct nut or adapter for your motor shaft, and static-balance the prop before flight. Blade geometry and pitch directly influence acceleration, climb and low speed handling - so installing this wide profile will affect throttle characteristics and the effective thrust band.
Confirm hub bore and thread compatibility before pairing with your motor shaft and prop adapter, ensure the propeller clears the airframe and control surfaces, and re-check motor current and ESC temperature after the change. Inspect blades routinely for cracks or chips and replace any defective prop to prevent vibration or loss of control.
