RE: Decathlon Engine Recomendations Please

Hey Frog...

SAITO 91 Prop Question - What do you think

I second the APC 14x6...

I have run many Saito 91's and this is about the best prop for the engine... Plenty of speed and lots of power!

YS 140 DZ Breakin

That sounds cheap for a Turbo Saratoga engine...

Of course my Falcon 900EX has about $5 million in engines on it (about $1.7 million each)... Now THATS expensive!

Goldberg "Decathlon" .70, .91, 1.20, etc...

Props I would recommend:

Saito 91 - APC 14x6
Saito 100 - APC 15x6
Saito 120 - APC 16x6 or 15x8

The 16x6 is going to start giving you ground clearance problems, and a 15x8 will probably give...

Re: Slow and gentle flight?

Yes, it does a nice job of "low & slow" I would still recommend the Saito 100 as a powerplant, and a 15x6 prop would work great for you... You'll have plenty of power if you need it, but she will...

Saito 1.80. tach readings

The largest diameter prop Saito recommends is a 17"

Using a larger prop is like having the manifold pressure too high and the RPM's too low on an engine with a constant speed prop... Basically...

Saito 1.80. tach readings

a 20" prop is way too big for this engine, no wonder you are only getting 7,900 RPM's...

Try an 18x6 and you will be much happier... you will gain about 1,000 RPM's and a lot more thrust!

Go for a Saito 180 (Single) .... it will give you much better power than the 182 and be much lighter....

It also sounds much better than the OS 160FX...
