RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

O.F.... I believe it...the glow version of the 2.20/36cc Saito has gotta be lighter w/o all that ignition equipment, huh?
What size prop are you running or going to run on the 2.20?

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

You might need to heat it up just a bit more too...I use a propane torch. You don't need a big flame though, about 1-2" long and heat the prop driver until your spit slicked finger sizzles when you...
