Falcon 13x5 Wood Electric Propeller
The Falcon 13x5 Wood Electric Propeller is designed for electric-powered RC airplanes requiring a balanced combination of thrust, throttle response, and forward speed. The 13-inch diameter combined with a moderate 5-inch pitch makes this propeller an excellent choice for sport flying, aerobatics, and general-purpose electric aircraft setups.
Compared to lower-pitch propellers, the 13x5 provides slightly more forward speed while still maintaining strong acceleration and responsive low-speed handling. It is a versatile option for pilots wanting smooth electric performance without excessive motor load.
✅ Recommended Applications:
- Sport electric airplanes
- Aerobatic RC aircraft
- General-purpose electric flying setups
- Balsa and foam electric airplanes
- Precision and pattern-style electric aircraft
Key Features
- Balanced Performance: Sized as a 13x5 electric wood propeller for RC airplanes to offer a balanced combination of thrust and forward speed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Falcon 13x5 Wood Electric Propeller best used for?
The Falcon 13x5 Wood Electric Propeller is best suited for sport electric airplanes, aerobatic aircraft, and balanced general-purpose electric flying setups.
What does 13x5 mean on an RC propeller?
The first number, 13, is the propeller diameter in inches. The second number, 5, is the pitch in inches. A 13x5 propeller provides a balanced combination of thrust and forward speed.
How is a 13x5 different from a 13x4 propeller?
A 13x5 propeller generally provides slightly more forward speed, while a 13x4 propeller is more focused on low-speed thrust and aggressive 3D performance.
How is a 13x5 different from a 13x6 propeller?
A 13x5 propeller usually offers quicker acceleration and lighter motor loading, while a 13x6 propeller generally provides higher airspeed and stronger top-end performance.
Can this propeller be used on gas engines?
No. This Falcon propeller is designed specifically for electric-powered RC airplane applications.
Should I balance the propeller before flying?
Yes. Although Falcon propellers are factory balanced, a final balance check is recommended before installation due to environmental and shipping conditions.
