I've never been one for smileys, but........................The search is over. I have found the 'more' that I have been looking for. And then some. Don't know where to begin. I expected a considerable difference, but was not prepared for this. Even at the now consertively rich settings for break in, it will hang at 1/4 throttle compared to the full throttle of the Saito. Unlimited vertical does not quite describe it. Blew it out for a couple seconds on a level pass and almost immediatly the prop went super sonic and started barking. Roger will know what I'm talking about as he runs gas. I need more than the 16/5. Can't wait for the new ones, and after today it looks like it will be a 17" prop. I could see picking up another 1000 RPM by the time its broken in. Richly set I was getting about 10,000 today. With a half gallon through it, I'm almost there. Here is the kicker, 4 degrees right thrust with the Saito and it still pulled left on an upline climb. Now the same 4 degrees with the YS and it uplines as straight as a pin. Could be the battery in the tail, don't know yet. What I do know is that with the extra weight and the battery more aft, it is a different plane. Inverted is the same as level flight, no inputs required. Ever have the hairs stand up on your arms? Joe
