Guys I tooooo have a Saito 72 on my Flip, flew it today for the first time with APC 13x6 sport prop. It fly great pulled out of hovers and scared the living you know what out of me when I tried other 3d stuff. I had a guy at the field that flys 3d fly it and he said all was good he did recomend that for hover and torque rolls to use low rates. I set it up with the recommened 30mm and added 10% more on the rate. It flew great and i am now on my way to learning how to 3d and not be scared. I did have a tank problem, can't get my 72 to draw the last 25% of fuel out of the tank.

Gary, prather boats makes a one way valve that should cure your problem. I have used them in the past when I have a fuel problem. It goes on your pressure line going to the tank. This keep the pressure built up in the tank.

If you try this be sure to unhook it after you fly or you'll have fuel running out of your carb.
