Status: offline 		Great conversion! I've got a couple of questions though
1. Is the long yellow bent bit there to suit the tail rotor of a Helicopter?
2. How well does that fine flexible prop on the end work?
3. Did it cost extra for the "Golden Knight" version?

No, but I'll bet the idle and transition are much better than any weedeater *I'VE* ever used...

I hear that they are a b*&ch to balance.

Start flying gas engines and I'll bet your weedeater engine will be running a lot better pretty quickly

I'd love to hear this weedeater run, imagine being the envy of all the neighbors when you fire up that four stroke weedeater and go to trimming everything insight

Status: offline 		I hate to dissapoint all you gullable guys.....but the conversion is not real...........it just happened that there was a trimmer head that needed new string and a saito 300 being cleaned at the same time....the two just sitting on the bench just looked like it was time to have a good chuckle by placing them to look like they were together. The real home for the twin is on the business end of a 40% scale Heath Baby Bullet
