I have a Saito 82 that I've had for several years. The last few flights my engine stalls in mid-flight at or around 6 minutes into a 13 minute flight. I've tried new glow plug...new fuel...reset and reset engine settings. I get perfect performance at each full tank but again...at 6 minutes engine sputters...and stalls. Tired and freaked about the number of deadsticks I've had to deal with.

Please help!!!

How far are you from Colonial Beach? Maybe I could take a look at it.

Sounds as though you should put new components inside your tank

its fuel tank issue, check your fuel stopper and inside tank lines

Your fuel line has a hole in it where it joins the feed tube.

How long has the Saito .82 been on the market? Do they run much stronger or better thtan the older .80 Saito? Thanks Capt,n

The 82a has been around since 2003 or somewhere along there

It has the cylinder bore of a 100 and a stroke less than that of the 72

Exterior size is much the same as the Saito 72. Has a common mounting bolt pattern with the 72, 45, 50 56, & 62. But the 72 and 82 are a little wider across the crankcase

The 82 has power very close to what the 91 does. It will pretty much swing the same props

There's a new 82 that will be available in a few months with a redesigned crankcase.

Changed all fuel lines...and checked the tank.

Now engine works perfectly.

THanks for the advice.

Mint result for you mate,they sound good when they run right eh?
