Alright!! You got a cam too.

We can both post. If you want we can both post and work together in one thread. I won't need help--but you might. And, if the other guys can see your progress--they can help you out.

I got 2 litte kids as well. 4yrs and 2yrs. I don't usually get to work on my planes untill after they are in bed. Sometimes my wife goes shopping and I get to be alone during the day---then I can build. But, mostly I have to build at night. I stay up LAAAAAAATE usually. Sometimes 2 or 3 in the morning.[X(]

You can build a Ryobi or Homelite conversion for the same price as the Saito--maybe less. It will be twice as fuel efficient as the Saito.

Myself and a lot of guys were scared to get their first gasser. It's not a big deal. It just runs on cheaper fuel and weighs a bit more. After I got my first gasser for a big plane--I was kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I was scared to get a gasser and I waited about 5 yrs before I got my first one. It's the only way to go for any plane with 1000sq.in. of wing or more.

I know that your new to the hobby. And it's intimidating to think about a gasser for your first kit and your first plane after getting your solo license. But they aren't hard to run and they aren't hard to tune either.

Think about it. Don't dismiss the gasser. I'm converting a Ryobi 31cc for $80. You can buy a brand new Ryobi weedeater from www.harborfreight.com for $50. Costs $9 to ship it. So you got $60 in the engine and $80 in the conversion parts. Thats $140 for a 31cc engine that will sip down 10oz of fuel in about 30 minutes. Thats 10oz of fuel that costs ya $3 per gallon for the gas and about $1 for the 2-stroke oil to mix it up. So, $4 a gallon for your fuel and you get TWICE the mileage per tank. Beats the heck out of $15 or $18 per gallon for glow fuel. A Saito 150 will suck down about 16 or 18 oz in 15 minutes. It's gonna cost ya $2.50 per flight--just for your fuel. You can fly the Ryobi for pennies.

If you want to dig around and buy a used Ryobi from the local small engine shop--you can get them cheap. So, your engine price will go down even more. Ya can't hardly wear one of these things out. As long as the cylinder and piston aren't cooked from running straight gas in it---your good to go. You can rebuild the carb for about $15.

Alright, lets get this party started. I'm off to snap pics of the box contents.[sm=lol.gif]
