I don't know what alaska_rc_flyer is talking about either. My Saito starts easily, hovers the stick at a bit less than half throttle then pulls hard on the upline to glider altitudes if you care to. I use 30% heli fuel and, yes, it does burn a lot of it but what the h***? It's, fun, reliable and powerful.......Stomper, that is a nice setup that you have there. Very cool....
