Default FOR WHAT IS A 13.4 X 13.5 THREE-BLADED PROP USED?????

A couple weeks ago at a swap meet I bought two 13.4 X 13.5 three-bladed APC props new in package. They were only $4 so I couldn't pass them up, but I really don't know what they would be used for. What type flying/airplane and what size engine are these designed for. Here is the Tower link for the prop, http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LX1633&P=SM .

Maybe on a 140 size pattern plane?

It has been discontinued by APC (assumed because it is no longer listed on their site). Using various prop calculators it appears to have about the same load factor as a 15x13 which APC calls a '120 PATTERN' prop.

I'm a sucker for a 'deal' but I would have passed on these. I'll never have anything that can turn them and do not know anyone who would be interested.

Might work well for a scale subject with an RCV 60SP.

I had a RCV90SP at one time, it used a really big prop even bigger than this one
