The propeller features a straightforward design philosophy that appeals to both seasoned RC aircraft pilots and those new to the hobby in the UK. Its dimensional specifications—13.5 inches in diameter with a 6-inch pitch—make it compatible with many popular RC aircraft models and electric motor configurations. As part of our comprehensive range of RC aircraft parts and accessories, we stock this propeller to ensure UK-based RC enthusiasts have immediate access to quality components without lengthy international shipping delays.

Key Features

• 2-Blade Design — The two-blade configuration provides a proven and reliable thrust profile for electric-powered RC aircraft, offering a balance between efficiency and simplicity that appeals to both recreational flyers and serious competitors. This design reduces mechanical complexity whilst maintaining excellent aerodynamic performance.
• 13.5-Inch Diameter — The 13.5-inch diameter dimension is engineered to work with a range of electric motors commonly used in mid-sized RC aircraft, ensuring broad compatibility across popular RC plane platforms and custom builds in the UK market.
• 6-Inch Pitch — The six-inch pitch specification defines the theoretical forward distance the propeller travels through the air per complete rotation, directly influencing the aircraft's speed and power characteristics. This pitch value positions the propeller as suitable for general-purpose flying rather than specialised high-speed or low-speed applications.
• FMS Hobby Manufacturing — FMS Hobby is a recognised manufacturer in the RC aircraft sector, and their propellers are engineered to deliver consistent performance and durability, giving you confidence in component reliability for your RC flying activities.
• Precision Engineering — The propeller is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring balanced rotation that minimises vibration and stress on your aircraft's motor and airframe, resulting in smoother flight characteristics and extended component lifespan.
• Spare Part Compatibility — As a modular component, this propeller serves as an ideal spare for RC aircraft builders and flyers across the UK who need reliable replacements without committing to complete aircraft kits or expensive upgrades.

Technical Performance

The FMS 13.5*6 propeller represents a well-balanced engineering solution for mid-range electric RC aircraft applications. The 13.5-inch diameter combined with the six-inch pitch creates a thrust profile optimised for stable, controlled flight across a variety of speed ranges, making it suitable for training aircraft, recreational flyers, and general-purpose electric-powered RC planes. The two-blade design minimises rotational inertia compared to larger multi-blade alternatives, improving throttle response and allowing pilots to achieve precise control inputs during flight. The propeller's construction emphasises durability and balanced operation—critical factors that directly impact vibration characteristics and motor longevity. When properly installed on a compatible electric motor, this propeller delivers the aerodynamic efficiency expected from a quality FMS component, with smooth thrust delivery across the motor's operating range. The propeller's geometry encourages stable airflow over the blade surfaces, supporting efficient power conversion from electrical energy to forward thrust. This makes the FMS 13.5*6 particularly valuable for UK-based RC aircraft enthusiasts who fly regularly and appreciate components that combine reliable performance with practical value.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What aircraft is the FMS 13.5*6 propeller compatible with? — The 13.5-inch diameter and six-inch pitch specifications make this propeller compatible with a range of mid-sized electric RC aircraft that utilise standard motor mounts. Compatibility depends on your specific aircraft's motor specifications and mechanical design. We recommend checking your aircraft documentation or consulting with our RC Model Shop team to confirm suitability for your particular model before purchase.
• Is this propeller suitable for beginners learning to fly RC aircraft? — Yes, the FMS 13.5*6 is an excellent choice for beginners. The two-blade design offers simple, predictable flight characteristics without the complexity of multi-blade alternatives. Whether you are flying a training aircraft or a general-purpose RC plane, this propeller's balanced performance supports safe, controlled flight during the learning process.
• What motor size does this propeller work with? — The 13.5*6 propeller is designed for electric motors commonly used in mid-sized RC aircraft. Specific motor compatibility is determined by the aircraft's mechanical design and motor specifications. Motor power rating (in watts or brushless KV rating) should be selected to match the propeller's load characteristics. We recommend consulting your aircraft's manual or contacting our team for specific motor recommendations for your intended aircraft.
• How does the six-inch pitch affect flight performance? — Pitch directly influences speed and power characteristics. The six-inch pitch on this propeller is designed for balanced flight performance—neither optimised purely for high speed nor low speed, but rather for general-purpose, stable flying. This makes it versatile across different flying styles and RC aircraft types, contributing to its popularity among UK RC pilots.
• Is this a replacement part or a primary propeller? — The FMS 13.5*6 functions equally well as either a replacement propeller for existing aircraft or as a primary propeller for newly built or assembled RC planes. As a standalone component, it integrates with any compatible RC aircraft equipped with appropriate motor mounts and mechanical interfaces.
• What is the difference between a two-blade and multi-blade propeller? — Two-blade propellers like this FMS model offer simpler mechanics, faster throttle response, and lower rotating mass compared to three or four-blade alternatives. Multi-blade propellers typically generate more total thrust but at the cost of increased rotational inertia. For most general-purpose RC flying, the two-blade design provides an excellent balance of performance and simplicity.
