Well I guess you could swing that 14 X 7 with Saito 1.00 but as you know when you go up to a 1.20 is a different ball game..
Not sure what you mean by that statement, as my Saito .91 turns a Master Airscrew 3 blade 14 x 7 with ease, so I assume the 1.00 would have no problem and could possibly even turn the 14 x 9 (3 blade)

You are right with MA you only get from 14 X 9 ( 3 Blade) up to 16 X 8 wich is to big even for the 1.50
I just received a set of 15 X 8 3 Blade and will try this comming weekend.. looks pretty good ....hope it flys the same way...
I would think either the 1.20 OR the 1.50 could handle the Master Airscrew 3 blade 16 x 8, and the 1.50 maybe the 16 x 10
You are right they could move a 16 X10 iof you wanted but in this case you would have very tight Clearance with 16 Inch , I started with 16 Inch but decide to go dow to 15 do to this situation any little mistake and spinner gets it, 15 inch is my recomendation...
One thing to keep in mind when talking about 3 blade props: Master Airscrew ones have blades that are not as wide as the Graupners. Thus, while a give engine may be able to handle a Master Airscrew 3 blade prop of a given size, that same engine might have trouble with a Grauper 3 blade prop with same diameter and pitch.
Horizon lists the prop range of the 1.20 as 14x8 - 16x10, the 1.50 as 16x8 - 18x6. Given those recommdations, I see no reason why these engines shouldn't be capable of swinging Master Airscrew 3 blade props in the 16" diameter range
I am seeing N.I.B. Saito 1.20s going for around $315 shipped at an auction site, sounds like as good a deal as I'll find. Anyone have any experience with this engine, swinging a Master Airscrew 3 blade 16 x 8 on their CMP Hellcat?
