Richard,


I just knew you where going to say that is
a Saito 82. I have one on my GP 40 Stick
and love it. I've had a new K&B 61 for 23
years that I was planning on putting in the
Hog. I took a 22 year break also. I went
out this morning and mounted it on the
bench. Broke my manual fuel pump in the
process of filling, but did get a 1/4 tanks worth
in before it stripped the gears (pump).

I checked the original glow plug and it was as
good to go. Primed the engine and on the 5th
flip she purred to life. This was the first run of
this old/new engine. Now i'll have to order a new
pump to continue the break in. There's no LHS
in my neck of the woods. As for the landing gear
I was planning on using Dubro's on the fuse. I did
how ever install the blocks in the wings for the
TD version, should I change my mind

Here is the gear i'm leaning toward on my Stick.
