I haven't seen any follow-up psotings on the Tango with Saito .82. First off, I got the ARF and you dang near shake it out of the box 95% built. I tried to install a Saito 82 but the mount that comes with it and the achor nuts are not wide spaced enough so it ends up over 5 inches firewall to prop drive (manual calls for 4 inches). The next thing is the .82 with needle to the right puts the throttle link in the center so you need to install another throttle link over the tank. With the needle to the right side on the .82 the throttle hits the fuselage so you need to both cut out clearance and install another throttle link on the left side of the airplane. To use the installed throttle tube and ARF intructions, a two stroke is best. I decided to use the .82 on another airplane and intall a .55 AX. Using the two stroke means box to flying is only delayed by glueing the windshield.
This is word for word my exact problems and solution !!!. I could not get the 82 on the dang plane without hacking it up and drastically altering the way it would fly. I ordered a 55 ax yesterday.
I really wanted this plane 4 strokin' but i get another plane this way
I tried to swap the car but it still doea not work well and the engine is to far forward. Oh well.
Any suggestions on a good plane to put my new 82 on???
