Saito 72 prop
What props are you guys using on the 72? I've been using a Top Flight 12 & 13 x6, but can't hardly any vertical. Thanks

I agree, the PAC 13x6 is a good one.
Also try an APC 14x6 . It is a little big depending on your fuel choice and the strength of hte engine. The 14x4W may be a better candidate.

I use a master airscrew 13-6 and have lots of vertical for my laser3d. (weighing in at 4 1/4 lbs.) But then again what prop wouldnt give it unlimited vertical at this weight?

i got a 6 pound extreme 330 with the saito 72 and a 13x6 prop and i have almost no pullout out of a hover, everyone says go with the 14x4w apc but they are all on back order....as for the 13x4w prop don't use it, I tried that one this weekend and it had worse pullout than a 13x6 and i had to run the motor very rich to not over rev. write back and tell us how the 14x4w prop does for you! what plane and how much does it weigh?

15X4 at 8500 rpm on YS-20/20 at sea level. I have found this gives me the best thrust of all the props I have tried (13x6,14x5, 12x7). Have not tried the APC 14X4W yet, but that might be the best overall.

saito .72 should be more than plenty for a 6 pound plane... (Just got mine in today, haven't had a chance to play yet... it is going in a ucd3d 46, which has no problem hoving on a little irvine .53 2 stroke)
anyway, horizonhobby claims unlimited vertical for a 7 1/2 pound super stick...

APC 14x4W or 13x4W is a good fit depending on how well she is running and how much nitro you feed her. These props tend to generate a LOT of torque, so hovering without torque rolling may be a problem.
APC 13x6 works well, too.
