No photo, but I do have fond memories of mine with the regular Saito 100. The APC prop broke at the hub and the engine destroyed itself before I could react. (hard of hearing). I was able to land the plane and thats when I found out what had happened. Major fusalage cracks from the vibration too.

Here is a picture of my modified Senior with a Saito .82. I like the combo and have flown it a lot.

I have a kit built Kadet Sr with a Saito .45 but it's not a Golden Knight.

Here is a Kadet LT-40 with a Saito 72 GK. I use the extra power to pull up an RC skydiver.

Now that my Dad has retired I got him into RC. He built the Senior and I gave him a 56GK for it. Last XMas I gave him a G3.5 Flight SIM. When he finished the Senior and I had checked it over, we went to our club field. He insisted that he could fly. I took it up and checked it out, then I handed the transmitter to him. He was doing fine and then insisted on landing it. I advised against it but he did it!

The pic is the Seniors second flight with Dad lifting off. I think the saito 56 is a perfect motor for this trainer.
