The best all around prop I have found for my Saito .56 is an APC 12 X 7.

I can't really comment on the Saito .56 but I do like my Ultra Stik!! Just a word of warning if you are using the quad flap set up. It climbs like a rocket with just the flaps deployed!! I tried a take off with only about 10 deg of flap and it was off the ground and climbing in nothing flat. There is a fair amount of pitch coupling with it so be prepared to feed in lots of down elevator to get the nose down or have your mixing set for it ahead of time. The plane will go where ever you point it and is a ball to fly. I have an Evo .46 on mine. I haven't gotten up the nerve to try the crow function yet but I will soon. Hope you enjoy your Stik.

I have a Saito .56, but no UltraStick. Mine flies a .40 size Tiger Moth. I've had surprisingly good performance from a Master Airscrew

11x7.5 (yes, 7 and a half). A Zinger 12x7 wood is also pretty good. I'd stay away from the 13" diameter, unless it's very flat, as it starts to bog the engine down.

I have a Saito 91 (14x6 prop) on mine and have been flying it for the last three years. Unlimited vertical, and substantial prop braking when you back off on the throttle. Really a fun airplane.

You have to move the battery into a compartment behind the wing or mount some of the servos in the tail to get it to balance without adding weight to the tail.

Hi Andy,

I Use the following: (5% nitro) APC 13x4 narrow for hovering 12x5 for 3D and better knife edge Just do not run then too long on full throttle. Why these sizes: Better trottle responce. You could go for 13x4 Wide, 12x6, 11x8/9, 10x10
