I LOVE this engine/aiplane combo. The 3D pilots out there would think it's "underpowered" but the power-to-weight ratio is certainly better than the full-scale Waco YMF5. Watch my video to see.
Scroll up a few messages to see the entire process of installing the temp sensors. The prop hub is from C&H Ignitions and corrects some serious faults with the stock one. As for the crankcase nipple, Saito put it there so you can squirt 20-30cc's of oil into the crankcase first flight of the day to make sure the internals start out well oiled. This is a step you don't want to forget on this engine.
