Default RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hey Bill
Runningt into something you might be able to explain to me... I have a Decathlon (draggy 7 lbs) with a Saito .56.. I am running Power Master 15 percent fuel and a APC 13X6 Prop... Static RPM peaks around 10.2k I have it richened to run around 9.6 k...
Qiestion:
In the air when I advance the throttle approximatley the last third of the way I can't seem to hear any increase in the rom and the plane shows no reaction at all... The plane is not overpowered with this set up but will do a nice loop and flys around great at just over 1/2 throttle... And yes my hearing is excellent . Guess what I am wondering is am I getting anything out of the last third of throttle ?... I thought perhaps a 14X4 APC W might do better but read your above post about it beting a little much for this engine.. I am after pull, not speed...
Any thoughts
Thanks
IC
