malmaz Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I have just finished a Chris Foss Wots Wot and fitted a new Saito 82b engine, can anybody advise me on what size prop I should use? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel R Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 14x6 would be my guess for an 80-90 four stroke. Maybe 13x6 if not yet run in. The Saito manual must have a suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malmaz Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 It says in the Saito manual prop size 13x6 to 14x6 It's my first four stroke engine always had 2 stroke so not sure on this setup hence the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Wills 2 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 13x8 works very well on an 82, albeit on an acrowot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon H Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 14x6 gets my vote, maybe 14x7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Kulagin Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I have several Saito 82's and have found a 14 x 6 works well. As Jon has posted before, start it, tune it, fly it. None of mine were run in on the bench, just take it easy for the early flights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malmaz Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Ok thank you all for the info, I will go with the 14x6 then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
