Status: offline 		I ordered a Tru Turn aluminum spinner from tower hobbies along with an adapter kit and the adapter is to small to fit the shaft threads. When I originally placed the order I ordered what the spec called for and was labeled Saito 100. I called TH and spoke with a rep, explained the problem and she replied that the part I had was what Saito sent them to be the right size, so she sent out another part with the same number and I mentioned that it might also be to small, she replied you may be right but this is what her specs called for and that it could be machined wrong.

I received the new part today and guess what its the same as the first one. My question is does anyone know what TruTurn adapter kit # I should order or what size the shaft threads are for my Saito FA 100 ?

Edit in: the kit part number I have now is TT-0717-A

Thanks
Randy

Below is what I found from [url]www.horizonhobby.com[/url]

Saito FA-100 Specifications

Bore: 29.0 mm
Stroke: 26.0 mm
Displacement: 1.0 cu. in. (17.1cc)
Weight w/o muffler: 19.2 oz
Weight w/ muffler: 20.8 oz (550g)
Cylinder: AAC
Crank Thread: 8x1.25mm
Propeller: APC 14x8
RPM: 15% Fuel, 2100-9300
HP: 1.8
Fuel: Cool Power 30% Heli Fuel

Towerhobbies has one that fits.
LXNV04 Tru Turn Double Adapter Kit Saito 1.20-3.25

They got wrong information on their site.
Seems this is what you received.
LXNV03 Tru Turn Double Jam Adapter Kit Saito
This kit is for 50~91 not 50~100.

FYI,
FA50~91: M7x1
FA100~180: M8x1.25

Be careful, there are two types of thread per each dia. For example, M8 has 1.25(coarse) and 1.00(fine) and Saito uses coarse one.

YS 4 cycle uses M-fine thread and OS 4 cycle uses UNF(inch system fine) so none of them can share nuts.
