Default fuel lines

I did not go take my cowls off Any OF MY AIRPLANES...but I think the muffler goes to pressure, and my crankcase has a screw installed to block vent. (in the line)

Default Fuel lines

My block line extends about 2" and is blocked by a screw.....
The pressure line goes back to the tank.......(from the muffler).The fuel line goes to the carb.I have a pressure dot to fuel.......
Hope this helps.......This is on a Saito 100.....The 72 is one I do not own......I suspect it is the same........Do you have a book???
Good luck,
DOC
If I can help let me know.......I have a book on the 100.....I suspect all Saito's are the same....
Regards,

Default j3 cubs

You can rest assured the J3 cub will make you proud......She gets a little "sassy"on take-off...but fun to fly she is..........
I have had one since the new age of my RC....
The one that isn't for sale EVER is my cub.....I do hope you have experience before you fly...It is not one to learn on.....Just a fun ole girl....

Default Base to final

Most pilots like left traffic....that is making left turns......
Try this:
square all your turns as if you are flying full scale......
When you are downwind...make your left turn and "square" it to your final....turn you airplane over your left shoulder...it will look wrong, but do it.....
You will find you fine tuning on final will be a easy chore....Don't let you tail get under your airplane...keep the tail high..and adjust with throttle ...use rudder as needed...remember...prop up the wing with your stick....always turn your rudder away from the pitts...
you will do fine...

Mine doesn't like a 4" extension on the crank vent...maybe I'll try a 2" piece of fuel line and see if it likes that!

No, the engine just runs erratic with that tube on. Took it off and without touching the needle valve, the engine ran great!
