Status: offline 		Thanks for clarifying it Bill... Always an education reading your posts FYI the early .72 also had a very weak (plastic) backplate on it also... The replacement I bought for it was much sturdier and has yet to break... They keep changing these dang mufflers and it is hard to get the earlier replacements... To use the latest ones (cast) requires a new cowl on a few of my planes... Kind of frustrating..

Sorry, intended to include this last time.

The 10mm thread is a few thousandths of an inch larger than 3/8", the 12mm is a hair smaller than 1/2", and the 14mm is 9/16" diameter. Hope this helps your ID of the pipes.

Bill.

PS: Thanks for the kind words. wr.

EDIT: And the plastic back plates do not help to keep the intake pipes held firmly. The later ones are better, but the pipes are still prone to vibrate and destroy the upper seal. wr.

See my rpm and thrust data in this thread:

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3311178/tm.htm

I recommend APC 14x6.

Saitos this size gains about 500 rpm for each 10% nitro added.

I think using low nitro on Saito is like putting a stock muffler on a 2 stroke: getting less power for your $.

Status: offline 		Just added another Saito to my flock, herd, covey, whatever; a FA-91S. One question: it's called Special (the "S" after .91). What's special about it? I don't see that designation after any of the other models. It's not made of gold, there's no supercharger, it doesn't have anything on it the other Saitos don't have; so, what's special?

Status: offline 		The "S" versions usually have hotter cams, more peak power, and worse idle than the older ones.

Saito claims they idle as well as the older ones, that has not been my experience.

Bill.
