Bob,

I have a lot of Saito engines and in most cases more than one of the same model. Some are not as good as others,

A profile plane will show up a vibrating engine more so than a full bodied plane.

I guess my only advice is to not run the engine at that rpm or put a 125 on the plane. Use the 100 somewhere else.

I have a new Saito .82 on a profile and have a lot of vibration. Not sure if it is the engine or plane. This is my first Profile so maybe the plane is the problem. I have tried balancing a couple of APC 14X4W props and I don't seem to be able to get them perfect. Anybody else have trouble balancing APC 14X4W props? I'm going to try a wood prop next to see if vibration is better. Do .82's vibrate more than other Saito's? This is my first .82.
