Default Saito 100

Just flew my new UCD3D first time with a new Saito 100.

Smooth engine, smooth plane. Peaked at 9,300 with a 14 X 8 APC, 15% Cool Power, flew it a little rich @8,900. Will try a 15 X 6 next time.

Blustery cold day, so I didn't try the gyros and the high rates much, but, man!, this setup has a huge power/weight ratio! You guys with the 1.40's and the 1.80's must really be horsing it around !

Till yesterday never saw one of these fly first hand. I'm convinced the tail moment is the key to its performance.
