RE: Demon in my 12X

Sorry to hear about your troubles with the 12X. The X9503 isn't much better with the software issues they are having. I was considering trading in my 9503 for a 12X but think I will just deal with...

RE: JR 9503

I am a little miffed with JR and this problem and I am not sure they know what the problem is. I checked my 9503 and it is in the group that is affected by the recall. I have models programmed above...

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

Pete, I had a chance to run up my FG-20 today. Conditions here in St. Pal, MN were 32F and 69% humidity. I am using 89 octane gas mixed 20:1 with Zenoah 2 cycle oil. Today after about a 3-4 minute...

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

Pete,

I haven't put a tach to it other than to ensure I didn't exceed 4000rpm on the initial run. Next time I run it up I will let you know the revs at WOT. Now that you mention the higher...

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

Pete, I have the FG-20 in a Pulse XT 125 and just love the combination and so do a lot of others at my field. I purchased my engine in August of 2009 so I am sure it has the old carb but it seems to...

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

I am using a 4 cell 2400mAh NiCad battery for my ignition on the Saito FG-20. The first 6-8 flights were flawless. Then I started having a miss at all speeds that had to be ignition because the...

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

I agree. With Horizon and Saito's reputation I bought this expensive engine over other alternatives. It ran good for about 1/2 to 2/3 of a gallon of gas and then I started to have problems. I have...

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

Today I finally had the time to try my FG-20 again. After about 8 very successful flights with the FG-20 I had a problem getting it to run right. It had a miss at all speeds that woul dnot go away....

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

I might try and see if I can get a new ignition unit from Horizon. They do warranty the engine for 3 years and I haven't had this engine for 3 months yet. They are usually good about standing behind...

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

I looked at the plug and it seems ok. It looked clean and the gap was ok when I removed it to check it. I was surprised by the lack of carbon build up with the rich oil mixture used for break in.

RE: Saito FG-20 or 21

I ahve been running the FG-20 in my Pulse XT 125 now for 6-8 weeks with about 3/4 of a gallon of fuel use. Up to this point it has been running very smooth and reliable. This past Saturday it runs...

RE: New KMP PC-21

I am looking at mine in the shop now. I have a Saito 1.80 that I could use or I have been considering the FG-36 gas 4 stroke from Saito. Either should fly the PC-21 well.

RE: Hobby Warehouse (Sky Hobbies) Closing

Instead of throwing my money away in the stock market I am investing in model airplanes. At least I can have some fun. (just kidding the market will come back some day.)

Lanier 80"232????

The larger CAP232 had zero degrees down thrust and I don't recall it ballooning when I backed off the throttle. I didn't have much if any right thrust built in either.

Lanier CAP232

I do not know if Lanier has fixed the wing problem or not. I have not yet replaced my kit and if I do it will not be with another Lanier kit. I think the Hangar 9 80" CAP232 ARF looks better aand is...

Lanier CAP

The BME 60 should fit in the cowl. If I remember right it is about 10" wide. Watch your speed though, this airplane will flutter. Other than the disasterous flutter it flew great, I wouldn't mind...

Lanier 80" CAP232 ARF wing flutter

Terry,

My wing tube sockets were loose in the wing panels to begin with. After contacting Lanier they offered a fix but would not replace the wings. I begrudgingly applied the fix and both wings...

Lanier 80" CAP232 ARF wing flutter

T28Pilot,
A friend of mine has the Edge540 and it flies great. He had some problems to begin with but sealing hinge gaps took care of any flutter. He powered his with a FPE2.4 engine. Very fun...

Lanier 80" CAP232 Wing Flutter

Mike,
the wings plug in on a 1" dia. aluminum tube. The tube survived the crash intact. The wing is straight and could probably be repaired if there was a fuselage left to mate it to. I would be...
