The plane maidened successfully today.
We never got the mixing right, even after 2 hours trying to fix with my instructor and 2 other 9cap familiar users we agreed
to just leave it, turn off the mixes and go flying to get me some stick time and a feel for the plane.
only used full span ailerons, no flap no crow.
wow ! what a beast that saito 100 is. i was holding the fuse and wing when the instructor started up and
I could feel those violent explosions of the engine going through my hands.
Even without flaps the plane went straight up within a couple of feet . and this at the beginning of the
engine's break in. Flying was really something else than my good ol'e trainer and a lot of fun.
It's not a very fast plane but the saito pulls the plane around with authority.
This is definately a nice second plane and keeps you very busy concentrating on your flying skills you've
developed with a trainer.
I was happy today.
Now i think it's much more important to practice flying and get used to the engine's power instead of
worrying about the mixing, but it would be nice to have them working.
I guess there is no other choice than going to a glider 2 flap setup and kiss the throttle cut bye bye.
happy landings.
