Re: Saito 100 with 15x8
The 15x8 is a bit much IMO...I think you would be better off with the APC 16x4W

Re: Saito 100 with 15x8
Unless you're running 30% nitro, even the APC 16x4W might be too much (IMHO).
I run 10% nitro and find either the APC15x4W or a decent 15x6 wood is best. I'm actually favoring the 15x6 Xoar/Volk props for 3D at the moment. You get much more rudder/elevator authority with the higher pitch which makes everything other than hovering/harrier maneuvers so much easier than with the 15x4W. The wood props produce a much crisper throttle response too -- weighing in at about a third the weight of the APCs.
