Hi Old Fart,
The Saito 82 here is £160+ thats $400 yours
The 62 is £120 thats $290 yours
So big difference in price over here for the 82
The Saito 56 is £140 thats $340 yours, more expensive than 62!!!
I also have the Seagull Extra 260 1.8M (160) but thats going to be a CRRC 26i gasser
I have everything for this so I will probably start this first
I have the Decathlon kit already too but been thinking over what engine
As the Saito 62 seems to be good enough for my intentions for the Decathlon I will be going for that
I'm really liking these Seagull kits now
My local model shop stock most of the models
Excellent value and quality to match and an extra 10% off (20% off MRP)
I'm not a picture as I build type, but I'll definately post some of the finished model
Funny how I just wanted a simple model with the Decathlon
Now ending up going to fit a Saito in it
Original spec: Seagull Decathlon; MDS 48; Futaba S3001
New spec: Seagull Decathlon; Saito 62A; Spektrum DS821 servos
My whole fleet is going to end up with all Saitos
I even thought about the Saito gasser for the Extra 260, so please, nobody try to temp me
Yes there are a few different makers of kits but they look all nearly the same to me,it's the 10% rule re copies or maybe the one manufacturer is bluffing most of us.
Was looking at a 72" blackhorse extra 300L because i'd like to run the fg36 in a model with plenty of performance.Might build a bigger dcaff to suit as extra's and yaks are pretty thick on the ground.Yes dcaffs are like that to buy...i walked into the shop planning on a lekky sailplane
now i'm in over my head
and here's a pic of the dcaff with 82 and 14x6 apc pattern prop.Let me know how the low wing goes.
