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.

APC 12.25X3.25 or if you want to go cheap Master Airscrew 12X4. You'll like
APC on the little "SayToe".

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.

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
