Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

wah-hoo!!!! my saito starts. runs pretty good for only 2 16oz tanks. Im getting a hell of lot of vibration but, that is probally due to the very rich mixture. Also im breaking it in with 30% heli mix from wildcat. I timed my run time with my radio and got about 7 and 1/2 minutes at a rich setting.
Well 2 of my tail brace screws vibrated loose since i forgot to use loctite on them. Also one of the bolts on the engine mount pretty much vibrated out. Think i need to loctite those in too.. Im hopefully gonna get a little more run time on the motor this weekend. Dont know what work wants me to do. I would say next week or week after next I can get to maiden the bird. I want to run at least a gallon through the motor before i bring the plane up.
