The APC AP1613 is a 16x13 composite prop intended as a replacement spare for electric-powered model aircraft and scale projects, built to cope with typical hobby use. It is supplied as a single propeller for models that require a steeper pitch for higher cruise speed or extra thrust when carrying loads.
Installation is simple: the 16x13 code indicates diameter and pitch, and the prop is compatible with standard hobby hubs when used with the correct shaft adapter and securing nut. Check hub type and spinner clearance before fitting to avoid interference with the airframe.
From a maintenance perspective the 16x13 changes thrust and RPM behaviour and generally increases current draw, so ensure your ESC and motor can tolerate the added load. Balance the prop before every flight and inspect closely for hairline cracks or deformation after any hard impact.
