As to peaking a Saito, you're best bet is to sneak up on the peak, (as stated above) and per Dan's suggestion and give a few seconds between changes to stabilize. I've been pooh poohed pretty hard for that suggestion but it prevents kicking the prop off. I am surprised yours didn't shed its prop when leaned the additional quarter turn. If I tried that with my 1.50 I'd have to walk over to the neighbors to get my prop back. Here's an example. This prop bounced off of my sons deer stand and then into my wood pile. I had to order new nuts.

PS, Dan, the nuts came very quickly form Lantz Hobbies.
