Is there any real reason to avoid a very low time Saito 150 (at a very good price) and hold out for the 150B at the regular price (whatever that might be)?

SrTelemaster150

I answered your question on RCG too.

If the prices are similar buy the "B" block. If the "A" is significantly cheaper, by the "A".

Both will perform the same. All internal parts are the same. The "B" has a few refinements that could lead to more durability but not significantly.

I didn't go for a ride, 24+ inches of snow, (above my knees anyway).

SR thanks...I restated the question for the benefit of spaceworm........

P3arljam,

Saito makes an aluminum 90 degree adapter which is a cast piece. These are known to break. They advertise them to be used only with their flexible exhaust. Ours are machined from solid billet.

I only asked the question because I didn't see where it had been answered for you.. I have a 56, a 120abc,a 100, a 130t, and a 180. I don't really need a 150, so the answer was no benefit to me.

Dave 'ted' (it's a rude aussie nickname) the magpie was helping me read this mornings newspaper,it says you've had record snowfalls over there.Just for the record 'ted' did'nt think much of the book (air america)

ps he's real good at emptying ashtrays too.

Since when is Ted a rude name in Aus ? I thought you would get the shot gun out and turn him into a feather duster ! Must be nice to have some bird **** in your corn flakes . Cheers and a happy Aus day to all .

The final tally on the snow is 30", they haven't plowed our street yet, no biggy we have plenty of food and plenty of wood to burn. I have that used Saito .50 ready to run, the new Boca Bearings made it silky smooth.

Rudolph Hart

Ted is short for poophead (it ed) and that bird just stole my prescription glasses,magpies can be stubborn about bringing stuff back.You can always shortcut that and just shoot em but who does that nowadays?

Hi Dave, nice wooden engine mounts there, a little much for a lightweight build Just kidding of course. Have you been flying at the Thornburg field much? I hear there is a new FS racing track
near there, new since I lived in F'Burg.
Be safe in the snow there. We only got 16 inches here in Guilford, CT.

I'll tell you one thing, that guy isn't skiing on an un-groomed trail W/those skinny "touring skis"!


Mine are 99mm wide at the tips, 84mm at the tails to float on unpacked snow.

I'll take your word on it. I lived in Denver for 5 years and never went skiing. I never had enough accident coverage!

Rudolph Hart

Who's gonna come up with the first bigfoot track sighting?

SrTelemaster150

Those are cross country (Nordic) "touring" skis. XC skiing is usually on flat or gently rolling terrain. XC "touring" skis are usually employed on groomed paths with groves pressed into the snow for the skis to track. Everyone wants to associate all skiing with "Alpine" (downhill) skiing.

My skis are considered "Telemark skis" which is basically an all terrain ski, capable of going uphill W/O skins & they have metal edges W/enough side cut to turn making them (somewhat) downhill capable.

Snow is soft so, unless you are on a very steep slope, if you have to you can just sit down before things get out of hand. People that get severely injured skiing are getting in over their heads.

Me too, though now my feet are cold, and wet

Cannot complain here. Hit 43F today.

Traditionally this week and next are the coldest of the winter, (when I flew helis in the bush we used to see -55F every morning!).

Very weird winter. End of January and still no snow cover at all.
