FA-30 GK SAITO. BEST PLACE TO BUY?
Ok, Ive had it with my Enya .30 BB. I want to replace it with a 4 stroke. The plane in question is a Hobby Shack Citabria .20 size. I'm thinking the Saito FA-30 GK will have enough power(it was a little over powered with the Enya) and it will idle better too. I like my Saito .50 on the Telemaster 40. What are your thoughts on this application? And where can I order one? Tower does not carry Saito and the local hobby shop wants like $219. for a 30! Please help.

Eric:
You need to get your LHS operator off in a corner and have a short prayer meeting. Horizon Hobby lists the FA-30GK for $184.95, and they will sell it to you for that price. Your LHS gets it at a better price than that. The plain finish FA-30S is only $165 from Horizon. If you buy direct you'll pay freight, but the freight will possibly be less than your sales tax, or about the same.
As I said, it's time for a word of prayer at the LHS. I like to support my LHS, but I wont pay $35 over retail to do it. and then have to pay sales tax on the overcharge too?
Prices are current, from Horizon's Spring/Summer 2004 catalogue supplement.
Orders: (877) 504-0233 or www.horizonhobby.com
