In the chart below is a propeller selection list. This chart enables you to
select the best propeller for initial set-up of your Saito engine.
Remember, it is imperative to balance each propeller prior to installation
onto your Saito engine. Failure to do so may cause unwanted vibration in
your aircraft.
You will note a letter (A,B,C, etc.) stamped on the top of the motor mount.
This letter identifies the production version of your engine. Should you
ever need to order a part or have a question pertaining to your engine,
specify this letter along with the engine type. This will allow for easier
identification of your engine.
