UCD Vertical flight problem

I had the same issue with a saito 180 in a CG ultimate.

I put a Perry oscilating pump on it and never looked back.

Trust me, just put a pump on it and THEN try other stuff if it doesn't work.

Are y'all creating airfoils with the foam or are they flat wing sections?

Ripmax Alienator What do you all think?

It flew about like my first one....Great.

It takes a while to get accustomed to the odd shape in the sky.

It is black on the bottom and yellow on top. The center and verticals are black on top...

Ripmax Alienator What do you all think?

I had to make a hatch for the 5 cell 1100 pack by the elevator.

It still was a little nose heavy. About 1/2" worth.

I covered mine with econocote. Other than moving the battery, adding the LG...

Ripmax Alienator What do you all think?

I put a TT GP.42 on one and added LG. Great flying plane!

It was stable at low speeds and tracked great on high speed passes.

Throws were on the low side. I dumb thumbed it in. Working on a...

Cheap ARF Ideas.

Without the drag of the LG and the extra weight of the econocote it should do OK on a 25. It was going pretty fast on a 10 x 6 prop and I was running it fat as I was still breaking in the engine.

Personal preference. I do suspect that it did strengthen the foam up a lot to have the second skin on it especially with as big of a motor as I had on it.

Second time around I am increasing the...

What Prop for 180

I run a 16 x 10 with good results on my CG Ultimate with a 180.

Any bigger diameter and it won't stop at idle.

The 10 inch pitch makes it haul when you want it too, also.

Saito 180 flaming out

I always run cheap servos in a plane until I get the bugs worked out. Less pucker factor on dead stick.

I had a 3004 futaba servo on 5 cells and a long servo horn.

I was coming in for a...

I am officially calling it fixed. :D

I was very skeptical about adding an oscillating perry pump.

I was thinking there is no way this thing is going to work. It has to be a gimmick to sell more stuff. When I had to back off the...

OK. I had one flight with the pump and I am impressed.

This may have solved all my issues. I am being cautiously optimistic as I only got one flight in today for testing.

I could have sworn I had posted an update on this thing, oh well.

I/2 hole uncovered, now.

I got to fly some today and worked on tuning my Ultimate w/ a saito 180.

It is fun to fog the neighborhood with 30% heli. :D

Man that thing pulls.

Before I fire this thing up for the first time, what are the proper needle settings for this...

question for you Saito owners

From my limited experience I think the distance back from the tank is more important than the tank height.

My 180 is flaming out on verticle climbs. It is theorized that it can't pull the fuel...

No. Do not remove the copper piece.

If it won't turn with a screwdriver is is defective. Mine will turn with my finger nail.

You do realize that it will only mover 270 degree, correct? ...

How did you set the bypass up?

Yes, I do have a glass filled mount.

I spoke with the local engine guru and he said my tanks were to low and to far back and to run the pump. He also said that...

OK. Here are the results of my test flying.

Without the cowl off it is getting hot to the touch with 5 full turns out on the main needle. That is max RPM backed off a 1/2 turn.

At this point I will not change out the prop unless I am overspeeding the engine. I have enough to tinker with right now.

I will look into the other fuel line. Changing it out will be a bear,...
