This 2-blade propeller configuration is engineered for aircraft that demand reliable, consistent power delivery across a wide range of flight regimes. The 11 x 5.5 designation refers to the diameter and pitch specifications that determine how the propeller bites the air, directly affecting your RC aircraft's acceleration, top speed and fuel efficiency. For RC aircraft enthusiasts in the UK seeking a dependable upgrade component that will enhance their flying experience, this propeller delivers the performance characteristics you need to maximise your investment in quality RC aeroplanes.
Available now from RC Model Shop, this FMS propeller is manufactured to exacting standards and backed by FMS's reputation for quality hobby products. Whether you're replacing a damaged propeller, upgrading from an older configuration, or building your first large-scale RC aircraft, this component provides the reliability and performance that serious RC flyers demand.
Key Features
- 11 x 5.5 Diameter and Pitch Specification — The 11-inch diameter and 5.5-inch pitch rating determines the propeller's aerodynamic characteristics, directly influencing your aircraft's acceleration, top speed and cruising efficiency during flight operations.
- 2-Blade Configuration — The dual-blade design provides a balanced approach to thrust generation, offering smooth power delivery and reliable performance across various flight regimes without excessive vibration or stress on the airframe.
- Optimised for 1100mm MXS Airframe — This propeller is specifically engineered and tested to work with the FMS 1100mm MXS aircraft platform, ensuring perfect aerodynamic matching and structural compatibility for maximum flight performance.
- Premium Construction Quality — Built to FMS's recognised standards for hobby RC products, this propeller undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure it meets the demands of serious RC flying enthusiasts across the UK.
- Reliable Power Delivery — The precision-engineered design ensures consistent thrust generation throughout your flight envelope, giving you the control and predictability needed for both smooth cruising and dynamic manoeuvres.
- Easy Installation — Designed for straightforward mounting on the MXS airframe with standard RC aircraft propeller attachment systems, allowing quick replacement or upgrades without complex modifications.
Technical Performance
This FMS 11 x 5.5 2-Blade Propeller represents a carefully engineered component designed specifically for large-scale RC aircraft applications. The propeller's dimensions—with an 11-inch diameter and 5.5-inch pitch—have been calculated to deliver optimal thrust and efficiency characteristics across the typical flight envelope of the 1100mm MXS airframe. The 2-blade configuration strikes an important balance: it provides adequate thrust generation for responsive flight control and acceleration whilst maintaining smooth operation and minimising stress on the aircraft's structure. The pitch specification of 5.5 inches means the propeller advances 5.5 inches forward per complete rotation, a measurement that directly affects how quickly your RC aircraft will accelerate and cruise. FMS has engineered this component using quality materials and precision manufacturing techniques that ensure consistent performance flight after flight. The propeller is designed to work in harmony with the MXS airframe's aerodynamic characteristics, allowing you to achieve smooth, predictable flight behaviour whether you're executing gentle cruising passes or more dynamic aerobatic manoeuvres. Build quality is paramount in RC propellers, as any imbalance, defect or inconsistency can translate directly into vibration, unpredictable handling and potential structural stress on your aircraft. This FMS propeller is manufactured to eliminate these variables, giving you the confidence that each flight will deliver consistent, reliable performance.
