I just loaded a set for a Saito 100 and it worked fine, just as a test, it may be your own computer that's grumpy.

It's the link in the email they sent out that is the issue. I went direct to the site and placed my order. Not bad, saved $16. 3 sets of bearings for $24 shipped.

Tore down another engine today and threw it in the crock. Last one for a while I hope. That's 8 complete overhauls in Nov. 1 Magnum, 3 OS and 4 Saitos. My bench looks like a bomb went off!

Default Saito Depletion Syndrome.
A heads up for you fellas.

I am thinking about pulling all the Saito engines, exhausts, misc new and used parts and take some pics. If we get time this weekend we may just list the whole pile as one lot! Maybe a few of ya'all can pool your resources.
Gave my son the Bridgeport mill and I will probably do likewise with the lathe etc.

likewise, the kits etc. Keeping a couple of engines and no more than three planes. LOL! When those screw in, that's it!

I will let you guys know the exact time of listing a day in advance.

PsychoBilly 82! Looking forward to seeing numbers from that one Dave. Likely 9200 or so with a 14x6 but you never know, maybe you'll get lucky and see 10k plus on 15% nitro like some have reported....yeeeeah

BTW, I did pick up some 35% nitro fuel and let my stock 82 sip 11 oz of it. It took what felt like 5 minutes to suck the tank dry but it did make a solid 9500 rpm spinning an apc 14x6. Not too shabby.

I am strictly a 10% guy and synthetic only, does that make me a weirdo, not a chance.

I have sad before that I only have this 30% because I got a great deal on it the last engine’s I ran on the test bench were on a mix I came up with. I split 1 gallon of 30% nitro and 22% oil in to three parts added 8oz of oil then topped off with Methanol which I figured gives me about 12% nitro and 16% oil.

as for prop size and RPM, just remember, an engine's peak torque point is where the engine is most efficient and will run in the best heat range

Its a .82 built from different parts from different engines like the car in the old Johnny Cash song One Piece At A Time. The last verse he calls it the "Psycho-Billy Cadillac".

Hey Pete, John Ray Cash, I think he sang a song once

Here is picture Jim, note GK cam housing and different shades of aluminum from different aged engines.
