I mistakenly wrote Receiver rather than Charger. You are right, the receiver is not involved.
I can reproduce this problem outside of the plane with a new switch. If I connect everying up...

I recently starting using Life receiver packs; 2100mah hyperion 2S. I have set them up so that I can charge and balance them in the plane. The issue I have is that when charging through the...

RE: A great friend of Warbird racing has been lost.

Still hard to believe this is true. I was at the next bench to Jerry at last Sundays PP race. He had his pink Spitfire and was his normal happy self. During one of the races I commented to Dale...

RE: Eflite Rhapsody glow

I finally got around to flying the Rhapsody today.

The one change I did make since my last post was to add a Perry pump. I had not used one of these before and thought it would guarantee fuel...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Funny how this worked out. I had spent a hour or two tinkering with the needle settings with my Saito 40 in the plane and could not get it to idle. So I took the engine out and put it on my test...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I have a Saito 40 that I am breaking in - what idle RPM is normal for a 40? I have a 10x6 prop (wooden) and am running 25% nitro. Is 10x6 a reasonable prop size for sport flying with the 40?

RE: ARF's ruined my hobby

I am in my late 40s and started in RC almost 4 years ago. I delayed until then for a couple of reasons (1) having enough money (2) being able to learn on my own with a cool looking plane which does...

RE: Eflite Rhapsody glow

I finished the build yesterday. It took just ten days! These E-Flite ARFs are so complete with the hinges and control horns already installed and bolt on tails.
I will post a couple of pictures...

RE: Eflite Rhapsody glow

This photo shows the 4oz Hayes tank installed. Also the blocks for mounting the cowl which mounts almost 3/4 inch forward of stock because the Saito sticks out further forward. I made the blocks...

These pictures show the progress so far.

I removed the back of the existing firewall to get the nuts that were inside the firewall - they were not quite in the right spot to line up with my...

RE: Eflite Rhapsody glow

Good information - makes sense. Thanks. The people I have seen doing this are those that I race small pylon racers with - with OS25fx engines - we try to tune them to the edge to get the most out...

You may have a point but I have seen many others do it. I have had problems in the past - with 2 strokes - that wont run right when held upright. I tried it tonight and the engine ran great. ...

RE: Eflite Rhapsody glow

Thanks. I figure the best approach is to mount the Saito and run it to see what happens. I figure if I run it, idle it, hold it upright, and inverted I should see if it has any problems. The...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hi,

I am converting an electric Eflite Rhapsody biplane to glow with a Saito 40. I am trying to figure out which way up to mount the motor (inverted, side, upright). I would prefer to mount...

RE: Eflite Rhapsody glow

OK - so now I could use some help. If I mount the motor inverted then the fuel line out of the tank is a good 20mm above the center of the carb - the Saito instructions say to keep the tank 5mm...

I picked up the Rhapsody ARF today. The firewall looks pretty strong as does the fuselage where it connects to the firewall. The Saito will push the prop further forward than the electric motor so...

Eflite Rhapsody glow

I'm looking at converting an Eflite Rhapsody biplane to glow using either a Saito 40 or Saito 50. The 40 is a lot lighter than the 50 so I will probably go with the 40. Has anyone converted one of...

RE: H9 Sundowner 36

Yes I have seen it, or at least the picture on the box! The box is on a shelf in my garage - I like to look at the picture most days. I love the look of the plane. I bought it on sale - 20% off. ...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks for the info. I saw the horsepower rating, 0.86, which seems really low compared to the 1.6 the OS46 puts out, so I was concerned that the FA50 would not have enough power for a 40 size. I...
