RE: YS DZ160 LS/Pump setting

Thanks for your reply.

Any recommendations on how to tune the LS/pump? I richened the the LS (by screwing IN) for break-in.

Should the LS be set before the HS?

Thanks, Don

I have new YS DZ160. During break in I felt that the engine was too lean, even with HS needle valve way out (4+ turns). I increased the pump pressure by screwing in the pump/LS screw, and I was...

RE: RADIO HELP NEEDED! HOW MANY CHANNELS?

It's not just about the number of channels. An important consideration is the functionality/programability of the radio. The latter tends to increase as the number of channels goes up. You may...

RE: Cant start saito 180 with cline

One more thing. Assuming that you have a line, with a stopper, to release pressure in the tank, you should hear a hissing when the relief line is opened. This is the sound of the pressurized air...

RE: Saito 125 Owners....

My son and I have one in a CA Model "Epsilon" pattern plane. It probably has 150 flights and it's never had a dead stick. Tune it correctly and set the valve clearance and there's plenty of power. ...

RE: How Hard Is It 2 Recover ??

Recovering is very doable. I just finished recovering a Cermark Javelin II. Assuming that you have some form of CA hinges on the control surfaces, you'll need to cut these so that the surfaces can...

RE: Second plane.

A Hangar 9 Ultra Stick is a great second plane. Not a huge jump from a trainer and does well in fun-fly events.

RE: Saito .80: High-end too lean; low-end too rich

Thanks. At 197 pages, "Welcome to Club Saito" has lost me. Seems like it should be it's own forum that has topics within.

RE: Saito .80: High-end too lean; low-end too rich

Flight testing showed a need to maintain a high idle in order to have full power in flight.

BTW Hobbsy, how did you learn about this kit? ...

Saito .80: High-end too lean; low-end too rich

I just replaced the bearings in my Saito .80 and have been struggling to retune it. I find that when the high end is rich enough (max RPM just starts to drop), I cannot lean out the low end to the...

RE: Thinking About Getting into Pattern

Yes, the Epsilon is fine plane to start pattern. My son has been flying one I built for him (from a kit, easy build) for nearly two seasons. It's powered with a Saito 125 and has plenty of power.

RE: Hobbico SuperStar Select MkII RTF good for beginner?

My son and I trained on this plane. We did learn to fly.

However, the airplane is a bit underpowered if you are flying off of a grass field that is not perfectly manicured. We found that long...

RE: Hog Bipe Tail Weight

Check the balance again.

I have a Hog Bipe with a Saito 0.91. The battery is foward of the wing and the receiver is amidships. The balance is perfect without any weight added.

RE: Dropped my radio about 2 1/2" onto carpet.

My son dropped our Futaba 9CAP 2 1/2 *feet* onto *concrete*. We've been flying with it for a month in 90+ degree weather. You're probably OK.

RE: Multiplex EVO 9 for Sport/Pattern?
