Saito 150 prop for F90
Hello. I have this set up on my F90 and I am wondering what some of you would recommend for a prop.. 17x4W seems to be out of the question for me though. 17x6 APC? 16x6 APC? 16x8?... Wooden prop? I don't know. I have tried a 16x6 master air screw and the engine IS broken in and it turned it at 10,300 RPM and hovered at 3/4 which seems a little high to me, On coolpower 15%, and it was not hot or humid at the time.

Well nuff said on that . I would try the 16X6 my Saito didn't like the 18X6 too much it would turn it but spool up was slow. The 16X6 did good on the motor it just seemed like it might over rev it too much although I never tached that prop. I think the 17X6 might be ok on it just watch your airspeed with a 6 pitch prop no matter which one you use you don't want any flutter. hope this helps!

Hey
I ran the 16x8 MAS tonight and I love it. It hovered at half and the vertical was crazy.
