ORIGINAL: Showtime100

opjose, with the Saito .56 4 stroke, could I use a 4-blade prop or is a 2 blade the way to go?

Showtime100,
The Saito .56 is probably comparable to a .40 two cycle. Have you found anyone selling a 4blader they recommend for a .40?

If I were going to try any prop for that .56, I'd look at whatever is suggested for a .45 two cycle. The FourStokess turn less rpms than TwoStrokes, so the prop will necessarily be larger in one dimension or the other or both.

And BTW, did you know that "slower props are more efficient". lol..... no lie...........
