Default RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

I am still hoping that this is an issue that can be resolved. I want to put this into a 60 size warbird that will not be doing 3-D. I bought this engine so that I can get away from glow fuel. I have changed the battery to a2700 mah nmh battery and I am still trying to see if it needs to break in. It is starting easier and is running a little better. Horizon has posted new needle setttings that only change the bottom settiing. They want it to be changed to 4 1/2 turns from the adjusment screw being flush with the outter part of the hole screwed in. I think that ends up being around 6-7 turns out. I took it to my flying field yesterday, everyone seems to think that it just needs to be broke in more. I don't know. I think that Horizon or Saito should show us some test engines and tell us what they went through to make these run.
