Status: offline 		Hi-

I just received my 16-6 four bladed prop for my Saito 180. The prop will not fit on the shaft. It is too small. Has anyone drilled a bigger hole in the hub so it will fit the shaft? Is this something I should have Zinger do? If I need to drill, do I need a drill press? Thx! John

Go to your local hobby shop. They should have a step reamer to do what you need. They come in SAE and Metric sizes. I have never owned a Saito so I can't tell you which you need. Check your manual or the hobby shop staff. If you fly for any length of time, you will need these tools many times over.

Anyway, use a drill press to be sure of an accurate, true hole.
