Default RE: Please post Saito 125 rpms..

Hi Zim, I have a question for you.
Did your Saito 125 come in a Black and Gold box labelled with "High Compression, High Cam Series" listed on the top front of the box?
The reason I ask is, here in North America our engines come differently packaged but that is not all thats different about our Saito,s.
I was under the impression that the European and Japanese marfket engines have higher compression, larger valves and a different cam.
I,m starting to think that the difference that we see with respect to RPM numbers may have something to do with the different market motors.
I currently have a Japanese sourced Saito 125gk that is turning the same prop 400- 500 rpms faster than my earlier purchased Saito 125 that I purchased here in Canada, and the GK is new still.
Saito 125gk 9000 rpm, APC 16X6 Cool Power 21.5% heli fuel.
Saito 125 8600 rpm, APC 16X6 Cool Power 21.5% heli fuel
Its just a theory.
Anyone with any thoughts ?

thx Dave
