Overview
The E-flite 15 x 5.5 Electric Propeller (E-EFLP1555E) is a genuine E-flite accessory designed specifically for electric-powered model aircraft. This precision-engineered propeller is an essential component for RC plane enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliable performance and authentic manufacturer-backed quality. Whether you're flying a trainer aircraft, sport flyer, or precision aerobatic model, having the correct propeller specification is absolutely critical to achieving optimal flight performance, efficiency and safety.
This 2-blade plastic propeller with 15 x 5.5 dimensions offers a straightforward replacement option for pilots who need to maintain their aircraft to manufacturer specifications or upgrade a damaged or worn propeller. As an authorised E-flite retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine E-flite propellers that meet exacting quality standards. For any RC enthusiast looking for reliable electric propeller performance, this is the ideal replacement or spare part to keep your flying experience consistent and trouble-free.
Electric propellers are fundamental to electric-powered RC aircraft performance, and selecting the correct size and pitch is essential. The 15 x 5.5 specification is engineered to work with E-flite electric aircraft systems, delivering the right balance of thrust, efficiency and rotational characteristics. Keeping spare propellers on hand is a wise investment for any RC pilot, as propellers can suffer damage during landings or ground handling, and having a quality replacement ready ensures you're never grounded for long.
Key Features
- Genuine E-flite Manufacture — This propeller is an original E-flite product, manufactured to exacting quality standards and designed to work seamlessly with E-flite electric aircraft systems, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable performance every time you fly.
- 2-Blade Design — The two-blade configuration provides efficient thrust generation and smooth, balanced operation, which is essential for stable flight characteristics and reduced vibration in electric-powered RC aircraft.
- 15 x 5.5 Dimension Specification — This precise size specification is engineered for specific E-flite aircraft models, ensuring that you get the correct aerodynamic characteristics and performance envelope that your aircraft was designed to operate within.
- Plastic Construction — The propeller is manufactured from durable plastic material that balances weight efficiency with strength, allowing your electric motor to operate at the intended performance levels whilst maintaining structural integrity during flight.
- Direct Replacement Option — This propeller is designed as a straightforward replacement for users whose original propeller has been damaged, worn, or lost, allowing you to restore your aircraft to full factory specifications without modification or adjustment.
- Electric Power Compatibility — Purpose-designed for electric-powered model aircraft, this propeller is optimised to work with the typical motor sizes and power systems used in E-flite electric aircraft, delivering the intended thrust and efficiency characteristics.
Technical Performance
The E-flite 15 x 5.5 Electric Propeller represents precision engineering optimised for electric RC aircraft systems. The two-blade design has been proven across countless E-flite aircraft platforms to deliver smooth, efficient power transmission from brushless electric motors to the air. The 15-inch diameter provides substantial disc area for generating thrust, whilst the 5.5-inch pitch (the theoretical forward distance the propeller would advance in one complete rotation) is carefully calibrated to match the performance characteristics of E-flite electric powerplants. The plastic construction offers the ideal balance for electric flight: it is light enough to minimise the load on small to medium electric motors, yet durable enough to withstand the stresses of repeated takeoffs, landings, and normal flight operations. By maintaining your aircraft with genuine E-flite propellers in the correct specification, you ensure that your electric motor operates at its designed RPM range, that your battery delivers optimal endurance, and that your aircraft achieves the handling and performance characteristics it was engineered to provide. The propeller's engineering also contributes to smooth operation with minimal vibration transmission to the airframe, which is essential for both comfort during flight and protection of sensitive onboard avionics and camera equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What E-flite aircraft is the 15 x 5.5 propeller compatible with? — The 15 x 5.5 specification is engineered for specific E-flite electric aircraft models. You should verify your aircraft's specifications in the manual or on the E-flite website to confirm this propeller is the correct replacement for your particular model. Using the manufacturer-specified propeller size is essential for achieving the intended performance and safety characteristics.
- How do I know when my propeller needs replacing? — RC propellers should be inspected before every flight. Replace your propeller if you notice visible cracks, chips, warping, or bending in the blades. Even minor damage can cause vibration, reduce efficiency, and compromise flight stability. It's always wise to keep spare propellers on hand so you can continue flying if damage occurs during the day.
- Is this propeller suitable for beginners? — Yes, this propeller is suitable for any RC pilot flying an E-flite aircraft specified for 15 x 5.5 dimensions, including beginners. It's a direct replacement part that restores your aircraft to factory specifications without requiring any technical expertise beyond basic propeller installation.
- What does the 15 x 5.5 specification mean? — The first number (15) refers to the propeller diameter in inches, which determines how much air it can move. The second number (5.5) refers to the pitch in inches, which indicates how far the propeller theoretically advances in one complete rotation. This specification affects your aircraft's speed, acceleration, and overall performance characteristics.
- Can I use a different propeller size on my E-flite aircraft? — No, you should always use the propeller size specified by E-flite for your particular aircraft model. Using an incorrect size can result in poor performance, excessive motor strain, reduced battery endurance, and potential safety hazards. The aircraft's design, motor, and electronic speed controller are all calibrated around the manufacturer-specified propeller specification.
- How long will this propeller last? — Propeller lifespan depends on frequency of use and how carefully you handle landings and ground operations. With reasonable care, a propeller should provide many flights. However, they are consumable parts and will eventually require replacement due to normal wear, minor damage, or the occasional impact that occurs during RC flight operations.
