Saito radials - quiet propellers??

Advice please? I have a Saito FG 60R3 engine and a Saito FG 90R3 4 stroke engine. Both are marginal on noise levels at our local club.
What have you found to be the most effective propellers at keeping noise levels down?
Are there any other measures that may help?

Re: For Sale - FW 190 A4 rebuild project with Sierra retracts

The cowl is fine and repaired. The fuselage is now largely complete, and ready for a Saito 84 or 90 to drop straight in. The main element remaining is to build one new wing.

For Sale - FW 190 A4 rebuild project with Sierra retracts

Rebuild project to suit Saito FG 84-R3 or FG90-R3. Built to Brian Taylor’s plans scaled up by 50%, so same size as Vailly FW.. Spun in on third flight due to defective flap servo, but flew beautifully up to that point. With the Saito 90 installed no additional nose weight was needed. Comes as photos...

Jet Provost question

I am thinking of building a Jet Provost OF a similar size to the Willis Warbirds Model. I believe that this flies very well, but is no longer available.
Does anyone know typical span, weight, and turbine size for that model?
