facia;
I have the same set up on my H9 Spit. At the end of a flying day, you plane will be a mess, but, that's how a warbird should look!!
I am running Cool Power 15% helimix in my Saito. I love the takeoff and low high speed fly-by and see two trail of smoke behind the bird. Tom was right about the throttle. I hit full throttle after the gear have left the runway with a nice smooth climb-out. Once you retract the gear, she will pickup speed fast. Right now I am building the Top Flite Spirtfire 60 kit. Good luck on your maiden and please let the Brothers know how it went!!
