Default RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

We did, and everything came home in tact. Always a good day. There were many pilots and planes as the weather was perfect. Two giant scale planes were totalled, and my P-38 was nearly added to that list, were it not for those reliable Saito 100s. I had to abort a landing gone long, and with only about 30 ft of runway left, the left main on the ground, and the flaps fully deployed, those 2 Saitos went to full power on a dime together, and pulled my P-38 out of harms way again. The day before, I had fixed a nagging fuel leak in the port system, and done a little fine tunning while I had the cowls off. It paid off.
