Wow! Thanks for all of the feedback guys.

After Hobbsy's reply I got what I thought was a good deal on a NIB Saito 180 for $300 shipped. However, after more of the replies started coming in, I changed my mind. I have since purchased a Saito 180 (3 flights supposedly) with a PSP muffler and unused stock muffler for $280. So now I have both, but will likely sell the 1.50. I will have to order a Cline or Iron Bay or Perry pump next. In my reading, it seems most prefer the regulator over the pump? If I go with a regulator instead of a pump, is it better to use crankcase pressure or muffler pressure?


Allan, thanks for the photos and balance tips. That is the one that arrived today. I thought about the 160FX or 120AX, and I have had success with the Super Tigre 2300. But I really wanted the sound of the 4 stroke, and I don't need that much power.

Harry, if there were more IMAC/Pattern guys around I would have chosen the YS. I only see these guys once every couple of months, and really just want to burn some nitro and get stick time right now. I like to tinker, but not right now. I do think that my next plane will be a H9 Extra 260 with a YS 1.60DZ. I plan to purchase one soon after the 1.70DZ is released and I can catch a 1.60DZ at a discounted price.


Thanks again,

Kendall
