Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Falcon 13x6 Wood Electric Propeller best used for?
The Falcon 13x6 Wood Electric Propeller is best suited for sport electric airplanes, aerobatic aircraft, and balanced all-around electric flying setups.
What does 13x6 mean on an RC propeller?
The first number, 13, represents the propeller diameter in inches. The second number, 6, represents the pitch in inches. A 13x6 propeller provides a balanced combination of thrust and forward speed.
How is a 13x6 different from a 13x4 propeller?
A 13x6 propeller generally provides more forward speed and stronger top-end performance, while a 13x4 propeller focuses more on low-speed thrust and aggressive 3D flying.
How is a 13x6 different from a 13x8 propeller?
A 13x6 propeller usually offers better acceleration and lighter motor load, while a 13x8 propeller generally produces higher airspeed but increases motor and ESC load.
Is the Falcon 13x6 good for aerobatic flying?
Yes. The Falcon 13x6 is an excellent choice for sport aerobatic and precision electric flying because it balances throttle response, efficiency, and forward speed.
Should I balance the propeller before flying?
Yes. Although Falcon propellers are factory balanced and individually inspected, a final balance check is recommended before installation due to handling and environmental changes during shipping.
