RE: Showtime
Does anyone else's firewall seem to flex? I can move my Saito 100 up and down at the front more than I'm used to.If they are all like that I'm not gonna worry about it LOL.
Thanks,
Jason

Your motor is a few ounces heavier than the 110, so I think you will need to go with the servo in the tail.

Hi,
Test flew my Showtime today... Saito 100, APC 15 x 6 prop, Hitec Digitals and pull-pull rudder setup. The
Showtime flew beautifully 2 clicks left and 2 clicks up, I flew on the recommended H9 low rates. The Saito
provided good power and hovered at around 1/2 throttle, although a 125 or YS 110 would be better for full
blown 3d I think.
Our local 3d maniac also had a flight and quite liked how it flew, hew could not quite get it to flat spin and
thought that the rates could go up somewhat. He also liked the power but said it could use a little more.
I will try the APC 14 x8 next week and see how it flies with that prop... I almost forgot she came in a around
8 and 1/2 pounds.
Cheers,
Flip...

rcflip... Have you given the APC 16X4W prop a thought... That's what I have used
on my S-100 (not on the S.T., but UCD 46) and I liked it a lot better than the
15X6.....

Also, if it's available, try some 30% nitro in the Saito. They absolutely love that much nitro. I use Cool Power heli blend in my only Saito. Makes it purr like a kitty cat and gives it lots more umph!. The 16X4 is also a good choice
You are correct though. I use a YS110 with an APC 17X4 in mine (2nd one, dumb thumbed the first one) and it appears to be a perfect match

I do remember it turning the APC16X6 at around 8500 sloppy rich so it's a safe bet that it was close to that on the 17X4.
If I can get hme early enough sometime this week, I'll take it outside and fir it up and get you those numbers
