RE: satio 100
HI,
I am currently running in a Saito 100 on a CG Ultimate Bipe. I am using an APC 14 x 8 with a Tru Turn spinner with the 8 x 1.5mm adapter nut. The prop seems to be well suited for this engine and the spinner fits well with no cutting/grinding required to clear the prop. This prop seems to pull the bipe along quite well even at half throttle.
Regards
Mark

Hi,
The Carl Goldberg Ultimate is the 54" wing span for .60 2 stroke and up. Not sure about the hovering with the 14 x 8. Maybe a 15 x 4? Anyone else able to comment on a better prop for it? Havn't pushed the engine too much as am running it in. Have seen the saito 100 on similar sized bipes and mono's with good hovering ability. Will wait until I have a few more tanks through it first.

One good thing about the Saito is that the UCANDO gas tank is mounted over one inch too high in the fuse which floods out most other engines. (it can't be esaily moved without chopping the plane up) The Saito loves it there but make sure it's not hydrolocked before you put the electric starter on it. Good luck.

Expo,
Sounds like the 15 x 4W is a good choice for the engine. Will give it a go on mine. From your post I take it that your Saito doesn't seem to suffer from the syphoning effect caused by the carb being below the center tank level. Might try this engine in a Top Flite Spit I am having syphoning trouble with an ASP .91FS I have fitted.

RE: satio 100
Break it in on a 14x8, or a 15x6 is ok too. What fuel are you running? I start and run them at about 1/3 to half throttle, with the glow ign off, REALLY rich till I get oil out the 8in breather line. After that set the needles, and keep the hi speed needle a little rich, and fly it! The days of running and running an engine, before flight, are really gone. after the first gallon or so start to lean it out on the top end, and fly the wings off it. Check valve lash after about 5 gallons. NEVER run it lean!!!
I run mine on an Ultra Stick 60, 15x6 prop, and Cool Power 15%. It will hover at just under half throttle, and climb strait up till out of sight. It was my first saito, since then I have gotten 5 more, I feel they are great little engine.

That just how long it is on my 100. I'd say put a line on the nipple and run it out of the plane, the crank case seems to blow out as much oil as the exhaust 
. BUT I always make sure oil is comming out of it, that means there is oil in the bottom end. Oh I almost forgot, depending on how you mount the engine, you might have to lube the rockers.

WOW!! That's something, the 72 is one I don't have, I've got 82,91,100,150,180. I've never had any problems. What did the engine do with the tube? I just might be pulling mine off to see if there's a change. Thanks
