RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

The thing about forums is you don't know who knows. Take the 3 blade/4 blade props' efficiency question. They LOOK great, and I have SEEN full scale P-51s using them. That THEY do doesn't mean...

RE: [Awaiting Approval]

Powerlines,

If your exhaust manifold and muffler don't look like a shirty dirt, you're not flying enough and spending waaaaaay too much time cleaning in the shop. Mine are the color of a baby's...

RE: [Awaiting Approval]

Jkonn, the local cops, one of whom flies, says it's nearly impossible for the radar gun to "read" the forward profile of a model plane. Takes a special gun, I suspect. His gun has trouble reading...

RE: [Awaiting Approval]

Bill, I know you have a mathematical bent (sometimes just a serious curve), but you quote the rpm/prop/pitch figures so quickly, with such facility, I suspect you have a table which from which you...

RE: [Awaiting Approval]

FF, one way to avoid the clevis issue, or making humpty-bump turns with piano wire, on your 120 is to use a cable attached with a brass nipple as in the picture. I've used the same device with my Can...

Gary, who sells the Cline Regulator? The Iron Bay (thanks for the link, Bill) is $44, a one time investment, I would suppose.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks, Gary and Bill. But, Gary, I don't "see" the pump in your picture--nor how you fill the tank with the cowl on. I BELIEVE I saw a picture of yours, early on, where the pump was shown. Can't...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Bill, can you speak for a moment on the topic of the carbureator's position relative to the centerline of the fuel tank? How sensitive is that position?

My Saito 1.0 is mounted, inverted, on a...

Thanks, Fred, for the "good guy" status. I HAVE to be good--just to put up with DownTrodden--whose talents with his planes are an unbearable insult to me, and a constant nudge to be better.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

It's that last sentence that bothers ME. I suspect Bill, as usual, has put his finger on the main point. When my father bought me my first .410, prefaced by a long, long speech on gun safety, he...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Bill, if the velocity stack/filter combination is such a great idea, why doesn't Saito make it a production item, standard? After nearly a year with two Saito engines, both of which WERE the...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Testimonial for Bill:

Last night I installed the velocity stack in the 82a, using an outsize o-ring that created an oval because the sides squeezed it in a bit. Pre-installation, I cleaned the...

I have an 82a on a Twist and started it, this morning (6 degrees F) at four clicks above slow idle--with some help from lighter fluid. When I have someone else turn over the prop for starting, I go...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

So, Jim and Bill, we ought not run high % nitromethane in our Saitos for the same reason we don't run nitromethane in our cars, as NASCAR does?

The high end nitro content fuels (over 15%) are...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Bill, or anybody, yesterday the 82a started easily. Today it just didn't want to go, though it puffed a few times--and I let it turn over a long, long time. I don't give it much fuel, usually only...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
