Hi Frank,
Hi Beppe,
I doubt that the gas version Saito will make adequate ponies as compared to the 120 AX or the YS 110.
Do you want to be the test case? Let's get a number from Horizon on how it will turn a: 15-8, 15-10, 16-10, 16-8.
These are sizes that bracket around what I'd run on the 120AX. Then we will have an idea as to whether it has the poop.

Happy turkey,

Dean Pappas
Dean,
I just spoke with Horizon tech. The only prop they could give RPM figures is a 15X7 Two- blade @ 10,000. According to the tech , Saito does not supply an HP figure because" it might be misconstrued ". The tech stated that he could not obtain from Saito or their own testing RPM figures on the props you suggest. The tech indicated that the FG-20 would be "equal in power to the 91 or 100."
I guess they're targeting guys with .60 UGLY STIKS, not us.
