Hi,
I am also using a saito 100 inverted. However, I am having serious carb flooding problems. Any suggestions?? How did you keep yours from flooding.
My high speed needle is set at 5 turns out as recommended from the manual.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The flooding wont be so bad once you lean it out to normal flight settings, but you have to have a hemostat or something when you are fueling - 5 turns is WAY rich, I bench ran the first 1/2 gallon through mine as I could see there was going to be a problem trying to run that rich inverted. After a lot of tweaking, I finally got mine to a flyable state inverted, but the low end never really was <right> until I added a Cline regulator. The Cline makes all the difference in the world, granted at 60 bucks its a tad pricey, but for the convenience and performance, its well worth it.... and you can move the fuel tank back to the CG
