I've got a copy of a tune up guide for Saitos that I got off the web ....

Rob, is that Saito web site the one Brent Watkins put together @ http://saito-engines.info? I've used it, too. Gave me some confidence when I first started with 4 cycles. So far so good. Nice to know what props to use with which engines, too. Set up and needle tuning is finely detailed.

I had an audience today for the Can Do .46. Three great flights, long. I found a group of fliers who know nothing about 3D, just like to fly their WWII models (all under .40 size) in circles and dives. I have hopes for a 14 year old who, I'm told, ( none of them flew, said it was too cold, 15 degrees), enjoys flying his bird over the field upside down--a beginning. LOL After they saw the Magic and the Can Do do their thing, they all wanted the new planes. The attraction to THEM is they have TWO perfect fields. One for summer, one for winter. Huge, open, along a quiet country road.

I put a 13 x 8 prop on the OS .60 for the Can Do and suffered no flame-outs, as opposed to 2 out of 3 flights with flameouts with a 12 x 6 on the maiden flights last week. The OS likes the big prop and the cold. I've GOT to get a 13 x 5 for it, though. On order.

Flying cold slows NOTHING down.
