RE: which four stroke would you go for?

My 1st 4-stroke was the Saito 1.15. It was $60 cheaper than the OS 120 sitting next to it on the shelf. 10 Oz lighter and similar output. My LHS said they haven't had a Saito come back with a...

RE: Sig P-51B Mustang

Thanks guys. I had hoped to maiden before Warbirds Over the Rockies, but too much going on setting the field up. I guess she'll be for show-n-tell this year.

RE: Sig P-51B Mustang

NoFlaps,
I saw your build on this bird. Any tips or things to watch out for before I get out there?

RE: H9 Spitfire Engine Choice

Thanks. I ended up putting a Saito 1.00 with a slimline pitts muffler. I'm still breaking in the engine. I need to run another tank or two through and get it leaned out.

RE: 2nd plane!

Take a look at the Phoenix Models Dolphin 40. Low wing semi-symetrical tail dragger. $100, flies great, and a lot of the work is already done. I changed the wire gear out after the 2nd landing.

RE: Heres a question for you pros

RE: Not enough prop?

I started breaking in a new Saito 1.00 today with a 15x8. I know things are still running pretty rich, but the best I could hit was 8800 rpm. Plus I'm at 5200 ft. above sea level. 15x6 is in the...
