RE: [Deleted]

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I would say that improper fitting can damage a good bearing faster than a poor quality bearing will go bad.

Make sure that the area for the air to escape from the cowl is much larger than the intake. Otherwise, the air will stagnate in the cowl and heat up. I flew in Phoenix, AZ for year with temps well...

There are hobby stores all over Europe that can ship items very inexpensive. I can also ship bearings to you for about $5. I don't know why some US companies choose to rip people off like that. ...

40oz is nothing for these engines. That is only 4 10oz tanks. As suggested, use an OS F plug, or a Thunderbolt long.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

This is completely not true! Stainless steel bearings are hardened to the same Rockwell range as all bearings and will last just as long, if not longer due to no rusting. Also, there are no hard...

Just to be perfectly clear for the newbies,NEVER, EVER ,NEVER use the crockpot for food after using antifreeze in it! Get one from a yard sale or such for cleaning engine parts.
