G'day Charley, Yep, down here it gets called a dormitory suburb (or village in our case). Just another wonderful example of the differences in English wherever she is spoke. Australian English is...

G'day. Yes, I remember you moving around the time I was packing up. Moving with models is not nice. The blokes who packed and moved us hated the models. The blokes who unpacked (we had to leave...

Thanks Dave. I had to sell a few things to make the move but I managed to keep 12 Saitos from 30 to 120 size plus some other brand four strokes as well. The Playboy Senior is a large pylon type...

G'day Saito lovers. I have not posted anything here for quite a while. When I last posted some time mid last year, we were living in Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia. We have since moved to a...

G'day SrT

Sad to hear that some Saitos are disappearing. Wonder how long it will be before they start making electric motors?

The way things are heading, anything above about 150 size is being...

G'day. Interesting that they have kept the 91 with the 82 and the 100 so close in size. From what I remember, the 65 and the 91 were part of a series of engines that were phased out but it seems I...

G'day Pete. Thanks for setting me straight. The 91 disappeared here (Australia) some time ago and the 91S must be a more recent version. You have to give it to Saito - 30, 40, 56, 62, 72, 82, 91,...

G'day hsukaria

The 82 is a recent design. The 91 is from an older, now mostly extinct, series. The 91 has not been made for several years. I think if you want a 91, then100 is the current...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

G'day OF and Saito persons.

We had another great day today. Similar weather. I only flew electric models today (sorry) as I ran out of time to get things ready. I spent most of the morning...

Well Hobbsy was right. I took my Black Horse Space Walker out today. It now has a Saito 56 in it (my oldest Saito) and it ran and flew perfectly.

It has had three engines in it over its two ...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

G'day Dave. Yes, we call it "the washing machine effect". It can be very dramatic. I was landing my Four Star 60 (Saito 100) on one occasion and I was almost over the end of the strip and at about...

G'day SSS members. I put my 12 year old Saito 56 in the test stand today for a little light exercise. She has been "resting" for some time now and her bearings were feeling slightly gummed so I...

They do make model steam engines and very nice (expensive) model steam locomotives.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

G'day

Like Dave Hobbs, I am still using the first plug that either came in or was put in my new Saitos. Some are now several years old.

I generally use the Saito plug that comes with a...

I love days like this. Warm (actually quite hot later on at about 35 degrees C - 95 degrees F), gentle winds and my first flight for about a six weeks as I have been in Europe visiting...

I spent an interesting time in Townsville around Christmas 1969. Managed to get sunburnt on the beach and then did a working "tour" though the Gulf country. Got well and...

Further to my weather report above, I did go flying today but the only thing I flew was a chair. The wind was making landing nearly impossible. Two nice planes were damaged when on final...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

G'day Dave.

I like your LT-25 above. I have just finished one too. It does not have a Saito in it though I did toy with the idea of putting either a 30 or a 40 in it (I have each) but it ended...

G'day Saitoists

I have both a 90R3 and a 90TS. The 90TS is in a Goldberg Anniversary Cub and suits it very well. It is not as powerful as a 90 single and I guess it is about as good as a 62 or...
