RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Does it require more effort to prime the engine with the Cline regulator? I read somewhere that it took 5 to 6 seconds with an electric starter on someone's setup. It seems to me that 5 to 6 seconds...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I will have to do the same or grind away some of the motor mount, but grinding is probably not a good idea.
The filter will still function pushed aside, I might secure it with a tie wrap.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

My new Saito 72 is running great on my break- in stand, however, I'm a little anxious about mounting it to my airframe. I'm mounting it inverted to an ARF and have only one heigth to mount the fuel...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Sorry, you are wrong.
Your 1500 watt heater puts out 1500 watts of power because you have 110 - 120 volts applied across it.
Power (watts) equals the voltage times the current (amps). 120V X 12A...

Try a battery that can supply more instantaneous current like a car battery.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Are you sure about this? The motor windings present themselves as a resistance (load), this doesnt change when applied voltages are changed. If the voltage is doubled across the same load, current is...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I have just recently aquired my first 4 stroke - a Saito 72. I'm very pleased with this engine. It idles very slowly and transitions to WOT without a hiccup, and it's just barely broken in.

RE: Wire cutting/clean-up?

I just fold the excess back and forth till it looks like ribbon candy and tie wrap it to the frame. Doesn't look bad and you might want the extra length later for another bird.

RE: sim or heli

Get the sim and use the heli orientation trainer. I learned to fly in all upright orientations in a little over two weeks with it. Had fun with a Falcon 3D for a while, then sold it and now fly a...

RE: Ruined Lipo?

I gotta agree these batteries are too expensive to chance w/ cheap chargers/ balancers. I'll continue to use this pack, carefully.

RE: Battery pack soldering issues, Help!

If the surface is clean, and the solder isn't feathering and is balling up, you need to apply the heat more quickly, the surface you are soldering to is sinking the heat. This is a problem with...

RE: TREX SE V2 Build Log

I've been flying my V2 with FlightPower Evo Lite 2500mah 45A continuous. A bit heavier, but that's offset by the weight of the 9650 servo on my boom. They offer a bit more flight time, but I shut it...

RE: TREX SE V2 Build Log

I'm not sure how the JR DS285 servos compare to the HS 65s I used, but I installed my servos with the mounting tabs inside the frame. This allowed a perfectly perpendicular link from all three servos...

RE: First Heli? Advice

My advice is to stay away from RTFs. Part of your purchase price is for the electronics which tend to be inferior.
Since you fly airplanes, you might consider getting a radio that can fly both. My...

Yow! An intermittant radio is bad news. Try to find the source of the problem, it sounds like a loose connection. At least you know that it can work.

RE: The worlds most expensive McDonals toy.

Yes, it was the V2 with the thrust bearings, 4mm spindle shaft, new cf blades and new tail etc. This was about two months ago. I think he said he had ten remaining.
