Status: offline 		A friend of mine just bought a new Saito 180 at our LHS. The ID mark on the engine beam is "B" or maybe it is an "8".
Can anyone tell me what that means?
Thanks
Ron

Status: offline 		That is the version of the motor.
First there was the "A" motor. To much compression for usa.
Then the "AA" motor. Put a shim to lower compression.
Then the "B" motor. Recast to take the shim out.
This is what I've been told.
Hope it helps.

I have a Saito 1.50 S marked "C", no problems with thick APC props.
