RE: Saito .30 vs. OS. 30 4-stroke
Never had the OS 30, but I did have the 26. Now having played with Hobbsy';s FA-30 I throw rocks at the OS.
Sorry, the Saito is just that much better.
Bill.
PS: Regarding the wear - the OS runs in a plain steel bore, dusty air will eat it up. The Saito has a chromed bore, almost impossible to damage it. wr.
