Hi!

I have a Saito FA-65 4 stroke and plan on mounting it to a Seagull Decathlon .40 ARF..
What prop would you recommend?

Thanks

Dave
Set your plane on its gear in a "flying" atitude and measure from the prop hub to the ground. Give yourself at least 1-1/2 inches of prop clearance. I use a 14-6 Ma prop on my .65 Saito, it has the power, but that might not give you the clearance you need. A 12 or 13 incher is probably the best overall sizes.
