RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hi Mr Ed - I use a 15x8 on my Saito 1.20 in a 120 sized Cap 232 and it's a pretty good combo. Will not hover, but seems to have good vertical performance. I have not tried a 14x8, but it might be a...

RE: Bird Strike with Big Stik 60

Hi Charlie,

I wasn't chasing the hawk, I was just flying along, minding my own business.. pulled up for a loop and just collided with it. My bird died... the HAWK didn't have a scratch!

Here are the pics of the damaged wing.. not as dramatic as the pics of the fuse. The balsa sheeting on the leading edge was punched in, a wing tip snapped and a wing bolt hole ripped out.. other...

RE: Bird Strike with Big Stik 60

Reincarnate, the muffler is the stock Super Tigre unit that came with the .61. It's a bit of a can, but works great and actually survived the crash unscathed.. so it's durable too!

RE: Bird Strike with Big Stik 60

Yeah, I am sure it would have been sore.. but honestly, it just shrugged it off and kept flying! I would have felt horrible if it had gone down as well.. glad it didn't. :)

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Can the same be said for the Saito 120s - a 16 x 6 prop is the best choice? Is there much difference in performance between the 125 & 120s?

From gboulton, he states:

"At 2100 rpm the DA-20 does 90 kts when trimmed to 2 notches above center. it does that in a 10 kt headwind, still conditions, a 5 kt cross wind, or a 20 kt tail wind....

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hi there, so I should not expect this plane to be transformed by replacing the Saito 120 with a 150? i.e. do you believe I will see a marked difference?

Cheers
