Default RE: Weird Saito 82a behavior.... 4-Stroke gurus, Help please.

Thanks for you help fellas, got the engine running well. I had to lean out the LSN A LOT following the instructions on saitos site. It now sits around 2200-2300 rpm idle and doesn't vibrate as much and my plane does take off like it used to. Top end rpms top at over 10K, pass the limit of the engine so I have it richened out to about 9600rpm with a 13x7 prop which is plenty for this plane and unlimited vertical. I got some 14x6 APC inroute so i'll give that a shot too .

2slow2matter: Yes I'm running 15% nitro, it just tunning issues.

Dignlivin: no grass field here, it's paved and with how light the plane is, even at 2200 rpm it has a tough time staying absolutely still. But it does help on the landings
