WARNING!
Checking the needle setting on my Saito 100 after 2 flights today. Has less then 20 on it. Opened to full throttle, about to tach it, and it RIPPED the firewall off.
That COULD of hurt, but I was lucky.
Close inspection of the firewall, I can hardly believe this did not happen sooner. It came off CLEAN. There were only o few spots where the glue was actually holding.
I would be pouring the zap in, and running it arround that firewall. I know there are hundreds of them out there, and I can't believe mine is the only one to have this happen, but it simply is not worth the risk!
Hmmmmmm......
