RE: Showtime
I plan on maidening mine this evening if all goes as planned. Here’s my setup:
Saito 1.25
APC 16x6
Hitec 5625’s Elevator and Aileron
Hitec 5945 Rudder
Standard on throttle
TBM 2800 Li-Ion & reg.
I’m not sure of the weight but it feels light.. [:-] It balanced out perfectly with the rudder servo in the tail. I broke in the Saito last night and so far I’m very impressed. It was by far the easiest Saito break-in I’ve done. After about a half a gallon I’ve got a rock solid 1800RPM idle and it’s turning the APC 16x6 at 9000RPM on 15% Wildcat (still very rich). After I burn up this gallon I’ll move up to 30% nitro. I’m hoping to see the RPM’s in the mid to upper 9k range. We'll see!
