Andy,

You sound like a convert. We have all been there. It is hard not to fall for a four stroke. Something about the sound I think!!!! Soon, you will have 118 engines like Hobbsy.

Jim






I wonder who among us on RCU has the most engines? I'm probably up there with Hobbsy, but I don't have a real number to offer. Maybe less, maybe more. Many, many of them are NIB, but I do have a lot of used, usable/runnable engines and lots of partial engines (not considered for the number compared to Hobbsy). How about it fellas? I'll count mine if you'll count yours.

Not that the OS engines were bad, there was just something special about the Saitos. I just liked the way they worked, sounded and looked. Not long after this, I sold everything and about 10 years later I bought the 45 back. It had been flying the Kadet all that time and had had at least two bad prangs but it was still going strong. I eventually gave it away and it is still going. Since then I have accumulated another 9 Saitos from a 40a to a 120. The 72, the 65 and the 100 get the most use in 2 Kadet Seniors and a Four Star 60. I have another 5 four strokes but of them, the only one that gets regular use is a Surpass 26 in a Dynaflyte Butterfly. An RCV 91CD is in a big trainer running in for use in a warbird some time. It will fit where the tall Saitos won't. I only have three two strokes and they get little use. Does this mean I should join Club Saito? The sound of my FA40a puttering past in my Balsa USA Taube 40 is just amazing. Powerful too.

Status: online 		O.K. Ed...I'll count mine (after I come back from flyin' )
At last count it was right around 200 counting the 35-40 car engines. (you mean model engines or just airplane engines?)

I think there are a few guys here that will easily beat that though...

Edit: So nobody else has seen the 1.25 with the larger fins yet?

Status: offline 		the voltage is more critical for the RX, not the servos. the RX does not drop the voltage to 6 volts for the servos. over voltage can damage the RX. Hitec says - MAX voltage of rx and servos is 6v. people use 5cell nicad or nimh. at full charge they are well over 6 volts. a 2 cell lipo is well over 7 volts, it needs to be regulated to use. MPI sells the miracle switch, i use the 6v version, about $40, it's a safety switch (if anything mechanical happens to the switch, it just stays on, instead of turning off) and regulates to 6v. go to their website.http://www.maxxprod.com/mpi/mpi-28.html

I have a Saito FA65 that has a bad main bearing. I have never taken one apart before. Do I have to pull the prop driver off before I knock out the crank??
