Status: online 		I have decided on either a xoar 15x5 3 blade or 16x5 three blade but I dont know which is right for the engine. Will the 16x5 be too much load for a new engine? What about after break-in? Also should I go with the laminated or beechwood props?

Status: offline 		I don't have any experience with a three blade prop, but I think a 16 x 5 three blade prop would be quite a load on this engine.

I use an APC 16 x 6 two blade prop on my Saito 125.

Status: online 		The 16x5 3 blade prop will probably be too much for the 1.25. I would be looking for something in the 14" range. Maybe a 15", but I would be halfway expecting it to still be too much prop.

Status: online 		Anyone tried an apc 17x4w prop with this engine? I'm going for CP 20% heli mix. looks like this engine loses out in the power department to the FZ110 but good thing is that its lighter. Thinking of putting it in a 68in Sukhoi so the reason for the large prop.

Status: offline 		Listen, I 've tried that prop and every other possible prop on the market with this engine, and by far the best 2 props are
1. APC 16.5x5w (best for quick throttle response and vertical)
2. APC 16x8 ( best for speed )

Status: online 		The APC 16x6 is pretty good, but I'm going to try the 16x8 when I find one locally. I've heard that it is better too.

Status: offline 		Hey all

Started breaking in the Saito 125a today. Here's my readings after around 50oz of fuel.

Temp: 6 degrees above freezing;
Altitude: 500ft
Fuel: Nitro 20%; Klotz synth oil content 23%;
Prop: Graupner G-Sonic 15x8;

Peak rpm: 9,800rpm.

Very happy with this. I am sure that I will have 10,000 with this prop once the motor is leaned off and set-up fully. This was still running reasonably rich.

I am hoping to run this motor with the Graupner G-Sonic 15x10 for a good turn of speed on my CMPro Swallow airframe.

Status: offline 		Hi Zim, I have a question for you.
Did your Saito 125 come in a Black and Gold box labelled with "High Compression, High Cam Series" listed on the top front of the box?
The reason I ask is, here in North America our engines come differently packaged but that is not all thats different about our Saito,s.
I was under the impression that the European and Japanese marfket engines have higher compression, larger valves and a different cam.
I,m starting to think that the difference that we see with respect to RPM numbers may have something to do with the different market motors.
I currently have a Japanese sourced Saito 125gk that is turning the same prop 400- 500 rpms faster than my earlier purchased Saito 125 that I purchased here in Canada, and the GK is new still.
Saito 125gk 9000 rpm, APC 16X6 Cool Power 21.5% heli fuel.
Saito 125 8600 rpm, APC 16X6 Cool Power 21.5% heli fuel
Its just a theory.
Anyone with any thoughts ?

thx Dave

Status: offline 		Hey Buddy - yes it did come in a box as you describe. It's not a GK though. However, I've had excellent results with fitting the intake trumpet to both my 72 and 82 - these come stock with the GK series - so I'm going to fit that to the 125 as well. You can run them leaner at the low end, I believe due to the decreased spitting of fuel from the carb. Fuel economy is noticeably increased and the transition seems better too...

Status: offline 		These numbers are quite different. Some are impressive and some are disappointing. Some are better than others...but what are the reasons for this?
Mine falls into the disappointing category.

APC 16x6 30% heli fuel 8500 RPM. No way could 15% yield 9000RPM for my engine.
