Title: Saito 56 : Which 3-Blade Prop' ?
Post by: Robin_Holden on March 04, 2013, 09:43:06 AM

Greetings all from a sunny Charente.

My Saito 56 is running just fine swinging a 13x6 prop'.
She purrs around at 8,400 rpm on 15% synthetic lube' and 10% nitro'.

Which 3 - Blade prop' would you recommend please ?
What launch rpm would you expect please  ?

Much obliged for any suggestions ,

Robin [ ex-pat Brit' in the Charente full of ex-pat Brits' ]

Have no idea where to get these props today but back when MODUSA was selling Stalker engines I purchased a couple Carbon 3 blade 13-6 props someone made for the Stalker 60. This is the prop I used on the Latency before I went to a reverse rotation 56 and it worked well enough to win Advanced at Brodaks. Might want to see what Randy has in a 3 blade CF in 5.5 or 6 pitch. You can always tweak the blades to adjust pitch a bit.

I think Randy has 12.5x6.5 and 12x6 3 Blades props.

The 12.5 x 5.2   12.5 x 6  and   12 x 6  all work  well on that motor,  there is also a 12.9 x 6.5 2 blade that works well
I have some eather 12 x 6 3 blades that work on the 56 too
