APC AP13055EP Propeller 13x5.5WEP Electric Reverse/Pusher Wide Blade  [AP13055EP]

13x5.5WEP Electric Reverse/Pusher Propeller

This APC AP13055EP propeller is an RC-scale replacement designed for electric reverse/pusher applications, identified by its 13x5.5WEP marking which denotes diameter and pitch in the standard RC format. The wide-blade profile shifts blade area forward of the hub to produce stronger low-speed thrust and a smoother response when used in pusher or rear-mounted motor configurations.

Installation is straightforward for experienced hobbyists: confirm propeller rotation matches your motor's intended thrust direction, secure with the correct nut or adapter for your motor shaft, and perform a static balance before flight. The propeller's role in tuning is primarily aerodynamic—blade shape and pitch influence acceleration, climb rate, and idle handling—so swapping to this wide-blade unit can change throttle feel and effective thrust band.

When pairing this propeller, check hub fit and thread compatibility with your motor shaft and prop adapter, verify the propeller clears the airframe and control surfaces, and re-check motor current and ESC thermal behavior after the swap. Regular inspection for chips or cracks is advised, and any damaged blade should be replaced immediately to avoid vibration or loss of control.
