HS, in my book the 15x6 is a good prop for the 1.00, its even too small for the 1.15, You should see 9,000 with a 15x8.

Hi, can confirm 8900 on an APC 15x8.

I've just dropped a YS FZ110S onto the testbench, same fuel (15% nitro, 20% klotz), same plug (YS 4C) and same exhaust (Hatori short muffler + header). On 16x6, I'm seeing about 9500 rpm (c.f. 8500 for the Saito), still not yet run-in and quite rich. You get what you pay for, I guess :-)

Found a nice home for the Saito in my father's Cessna. Doesn't need ultimate grunt and I think it'll make a nice pairing.
