saito 72 problem
I had a saito 72 I put on a morris top cap. I reversed the carb to accommodate the throttle pushrod. On the forth flight I had a dead stick landing. When I got to the plane the carborator mount had BROKE off the rear cover. All the screws were tight. Has anybody else had this problem?
The engine ran fine when I hade it on another plane with the carb the right way.

Saito Carb Seperation
Happend to me too. Replaced the backplate, no problems since.

That is exactly what happened! Thanks for the link.
It does not look like there is anything you can do to prevent this from happening. I have the new back plate on order.
