Status: offline 		Thanks for the reply Bill. No nose first landings so I don't think the crank is bent. A prop balancer should arrive next week. The engine has been in a Sig Rascal 40. I put a big GP aluminium spinner on it to match the contour of the nose. I am beginning to think that that is the problem. I'll play with this thing a little more and if I can't get it sorted out I'll holler back. Thanks again.

Try running it without the spinner, see how it does then.

Status: offline 		Interesting thread. Maybe someone really nice would create a separate section just for Saitos. We probably wouldn't get manufacture's direct support, but I believe that there are enough Saito users around to dedicate a section for them.

I purchased a 91s on September 30th, broke it in and then mounted it on October 1st, and realized that I needed a tachometer when I flew it on the 2nd. 7 minutes on a 12oz. tank. I think that I will continue this slobberingly rich setting for the next gallon, but after that, hover time in a Tiger 60, I can almost do it now.

Two starts in four runs, it ran backward. Is this a result of the rich setting?

The case vent......I just have a piece of silicone tubing running from it to the underside of the plane. Is that correct?

I only have one Saito so far, but does that qualify me for membership?

One supertanker docking at Long Beach produces more harmful airborne pollutants than every two-stroke ever ran combined. Nobody is complaining about our oil supply, probably because they have better Litigators.

Status: offline 		Not that you have to, but I run my cranckcase vent hoses thru the fuse, all the way to the rear, and out the back by the tail wheel. Zero oil on the plane !!! And that's a good thing...

A separate support forum for Saito has been discussed, but while we have excellent support from Horizon Hobbies, they have not been willing to give such a forum official support.

But between Hobbsy (Dave), W8YE (Jim), me, and others who come in I think we still do a pretty good job with them.

A cold Saito needs a sloppy prime for the first start of the day, they will sometimes start backwards. Best to kill it as quickly as possible when it does. I've not noticed the carb adjustment to make any difference here, it's just not spun as fast as it needed to start the right way round.

At least a four inch hose on the case vent and out the bottom. You got that one right.

Seven minutes on a 12 ounce tank would be terrible for a 91 that's broken in and tweaked. When you get there that 12 ounce tank should give you 15 minutes with fuel to spare.

Bill.
