A good example would be how someone posted in the YS thread "Get serious, you guys need to discover Saito . "

Status: offline 		I have owned 3 Saito 's now and will probably never buy another 4-stroke. For the weekend flyer, it is an excellent engine. I cannot tell you how many times I have watched people with "other" 4-strokes spend their Saturday fiddling with the needle valves to get their engine to run, while I prime, flip it back once and away she goes....

Only complaint I have is the feeler gage they supply...don't like it..

Status: offline 		Got a Saito 72 and a 180, both stunning engines and can't think of any reason why my next engine won't be the Saito 82. But I do have a question. What's the best engine mount for the 180? Using it in a 3D plane. Any advice much appreciated.

Status: offline 		Okay, I have had 2 Saito 72s, sold one, so I bought a new one now . Last night thought, sadly I was adjusting the valves because my motor had no compression out of the box as I am getting ready to break it in. My rocker arm screw and nut part #42 broke on me , it was my fault because I accidentally tried to loosen the screw before i released the nut .

Where is the best place you guys for replacement parts? I found one and have them 2nd day air it to me as I need to fly this weekend.

Status: offline 		Whats the story on the 82? I aint heard or seen much. Sounds good though, 82 power in a 40!!!! Its almost scary. You'd think the crackase whould ave 1 mm thick walls or soemthing.

Status: offline 		Have Saito 40 , 56 and 72.

Have only flown the 56 this year, about a gallon of fuel.
Can't ever seem to get the idle low enough, about 2550-2600, with a 12X6 prop.
It is very reliable , other than that. Someone said I just need more hours on it, but I thought I'd get some other opinions.

Also I broke in all 3 engines in per the book. Is that sufficient or are there other tips that arer better.

And finally , who has the best tach? I haave the Hobbico and it's not very consistant.

Thanks

Rich

Status: offline 		I have the new 82a, but it is yet to be broke in. It is a beautiful engine, and looks like it belongs in a glass case, not on a plane.

I've done a lot of searching about breaking these in, and the info I've seen points to a very long break in (even longer than the manual says) but the result is well worth it. This is due to the AAC design which uses similar materials that are actually polishing each other into a perfect fit.

Here's a site dealing only with Single cylinder Saito 's. Lots of great info.

Status: offline 		I flew my new 82 today with a 14x4w APC 15%..I have about 6 tanks run thru it and I have it at just under 9000 rpms..Im keeping on the rich side till I get more time on it..I have the idle down to about 2200..Even at this rich setting it has tons of power!! My buddy has a 72 that he runs 30% and it seems like the 82 has MORE power even running rich!! From the first time it started with 1 flip!! I have it in a Funtana 40...

Status: offline 		I really want an 82 now, does it run how? Because its in a 40 size crankcase I was worried it may be bit didgy but it sounds real good!

How much are these things going for in the US?
