prop for saito 1.8 on Hangar 9 edge 540 1/4 scale
I have a Hangar 9 Edge 540 with a Saito 1.80 on it and I'm using a 16-6 prop now and when coming in for landings the plane doesn't want to slow down. Is this the correct prop? Why won't it slow down?

I ran a Pro Zinger 18x6 and an APC 16x8. I had better vertical and a higher top speed with the APC. I had more contol in a hover and torque roll and better downline and level braking with the 18x6. If I could only pick one prop I would pick the 18x6. Dont get a regular Zinger or a plastic master airscrew. Both are only good for paint mixing sticks. But pretty much any other prop will be good.

On my H9 Edge I'm using a 16x8 APC with the Saito180. Make sure you have a good low idle. Set up your approach, let it settle,when wheels touch, bring it to the low idle as you slowly feed in up to bring the tail down.
