What prop are you guys runnnig on a Showtime 50 with Saito 91 combo? I was using a 15x6 which i loved but was only getting about 8300 rpms. Used a 15x4 but too much on fuel since I had to keep throttle up. Now using a 14x6 but not getting the verticle pull i want at 9200rpm. Any suggestions? I know this is the pattern area...but ive read of ppl being able to hover this combo and pull out...Im not seeing it. Im trying to find the best prop, by the time I do...I would have spent enough of props to buy another plane.

I have tried a 15x4 apc(9300rpm w/ 10%) ,a 14x8 apc, and 14x6 top flite super maple which has been discontinued for year and i like it best so far.... just enough pullout power to get by but not ballistic

I like the 15x6...just not geting enough RPMs. The 14x6 isnt bad, wishing for more thrust....Gonna try the 14x7 and see what happens.
