FA 91 Tach Readings
Slapped some new parts in the pos 91 this morning and all I can say is, it's a keeper!
15% Omega
APC 14x6
Temp 35°f
Humidity 85%
10050 peak
9250 idle
1.6 hp rated/1.684 calculated
Once the ring re-seats it should idle lower. Still, it runs smoother than my 82 engines.

I gave up buying harnesses after having so many fail and make my own now. Cheaper too. Found a kit to make the Y harness, uses a circuit board and heat shrink, and have the stripping and crimping tools for the ends, along with bags of pins, sockets and Futaba sleeves and JR plugs.I also use heavy gauge wire, not that thin stuff.

hey Saito guys,
I received Piglet today, he's great. the wife loves him,,,, me too I guess LOL. he was hand painted, he must be worth a lot of money, only 1 in the world. because he was painted I have decided to put him in the Midget Mustang so the used fuel wont get to him. he does have an old leather cap and goggles, but I don't think he's a P-40 Piglet, more of a racer he is.
I forgot to get the wife to take a photo, so I will get a couple tomorrow. I got to buy a camera.

OK, here are the photos, as I said I am going to put him in my Midget Mustang so the fuel will not destroy the paint. in the photos you can see he is a bit too tall, I will have to cut him down to fit the canopy (no big deal). I like the window photo.
every one loves him,, ever my sister in-law
the digital camera really shows up the lines from the printer, but they are really not that intense ( < lack of a better word) to the eye

A question for the group. I'm sure that this has been discussed at length here, but the Net is very slow out here where I live and RCU takes a good deal of time to load and search.
So. How are the Saito Engines working out with the Gas conversion? I have a 150 that has spark ignition and was working very good when I put it in storage. Time for another project and I want to add the Gas carb.
For those that have done it, how is the conversion working out?

I received this from Pete last night: Hi dave, could you let the boys know that being so dry we have some big fires now. The recent big fires were on the east coast, we are on the west coast (western australia) our state is WA locally known as "wait awhile". I hope geri's health improves steadily, it must be a worry.
ps please let the boys know i've missed insulting them very much

here's a story for Pete, we have this 11y.o. yeller tiger cat, he is actually orange with yellow strips. hmm, maybe that's yellow with orange strips, hard to tell. any hoo he is a serous cat, I mean he don't put-up with much before the claws come out and in his 11 years he has never, never played during the day, he only plays late at night. he's big too, he weighed 18 pounds when 4 years old. well guess what, he loves Piglet, that's right, he just loves him, I had to make sure Piglet was put away where the cat can't get to him. his name is Milo Milo, we call him Milo
.
edit, yes he is on the table, most people do not like that. but I tell you, after 10 years, yes 10 years of trying to kep the cat off the table I gave up, I blame that on the wife LOL.
he loves his pillow too, he uses it a lot.
