I bought a GP Venus to replace this Lark 70. I liked the way the Lark flew. but it was not the easiest plane to build.

Hmmmm, looks repairable maybe with a new nose section. I wouldn't toss it yet.

Status: offline 		I have a Saito 180 and I keep having problems with the muffler coming loose at the muffler. I have tried blue lock tight and red. The red held longer but still came loose. I have rechecked the prop for balance and it is good.
Being tired of the stock muffler, where can I get a good after market muffler?
Do they make a 1 piece muffler for the 180?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried tightening while the engine is hot?

Status: offline 		I'm having a horrible time setting my ls needle on a saito 100. My HS needle is peeked at 9000 on 30% coolpower and my LS has a very small "sweet spot" that is within 1/4 of a turn. Problem is if I lean it, it idles way to high then dies. If I richen it, it will run then die within a minute. It always starts immeadiatly after dying. Could the valves be too loose? If I put them on the feeler gauge the motor vibrates horribly. I need to add that this motor ran and idled great when it was sloppy rich but only peaked at 8100 rpm and that won't hover my 7 LBS plane. Please tell me what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!

Status: online 		hey guys,

can someone post how they start their Saito 150's or 180's... i seem to always kick my prop nut(a dubro one). it is on a test stand... i prime with just one turn of the prop(manually) then either stick-it or use the starter. when i do prime it i believe it just draws too much fuel in the cylinder there by causing the kick-back when i go to start it.

Are you trying to start your engine by hand?
