this is my first saito...well my first 4-stroker to be honest. I've flown with 2-strokers since i can remember cause I could never afford a bigger, better engine. I'll have to remember that about the low end needle, that will save me alot of frusteration.
Curious, where is your CG set at? Mine is set at the stock location, but thats a little conservetive
for my taste. Do you balance with a full tank of fuel or dry? speaking of fuel, I was told to use 30%
heli fuel for this engine. true?
last question, You have your engine mounted sideways...does that improve the carb flooding problem on the UCD?
Nice low inverted pass!!!
my cg is at 5.75
balance with a mt tank
30% is ok but you dont need to spend the extra dollars because with this plane and engine combo 15% is plenty.(and i like a little castor in mine, good for the cam and bearings)
and yes it aleviates all flooding probs without spending extra dollars on regulators.(thats why i did it
)
