Saito .62a
This is a very smooth, very quick engine. Acceleration off of idle is instantaneous with no stumbling and no smoke.
Saito .62a
Plug===Saito SS
Fuel=== PowerMaster 15% nitro/18%/80/20 blend
Prop===Bolly 13.5x6
Peak rpm==9,330
Two clicks rich=9,150
Idle==1,800 rpm
The idle/midrange mixture is approx. 1/2 turn lean from its position in the picture.

I ran the .62 with a Graupner 12x7 and a Graupner backplateless spinner.

RE: Saito .62a
I've been looking at a new Saito 56/62 or 72
The 62A is cheaper than the 56A
Can anyone enlighten me with the difference, besides it's bigger?
And why it's cheaper?

RE: Saito .62a
Hobbsy,
Do you have a MA 14x6 K prop you could put on that?
My 65 and 4*40 do great with that prop. Nice low idle, real good thrust, fair speed. I fly mine at ~ 9100 rpm, not sure what peak is.
The only thing that would be better would be losing a few ounces of engine weight.
Thanks

RE: Saito .62a
Thanks Hobbsy, This 65 seems to like being loaded to the low 9000's. I've tried the APC 13x6- good, APC 13x7- better,
MA 14x6 K- best. For my style of flying in the 4*40 anyhow.

RE: Saito .62a
W, I hope these nuimbers aren't disappointing, I ran the .62 with the MA 14x6 K
Fuel====WildCat 15%/18% all synthetic
Fox Miracle Plug
Stock exhaust
RPM=======8,100, how does that compare to the .65? This combination is eerily smooth with sub 1,800 rpm idle, acceleration in the 5,000 to 7,500 rpm range is almost instantaneous even though I was disappointed in the max rpm. The .62s forte seems to be very good midrange torque. Also, it will run a really long time on a 16oz tank.

RE: Saito .62a
Thanks for the info,
The 65 is flying that prop at ~ 9100 rpm. Not sure what peak is, I check next time out.
I may be wrong, but I am thinking the 62 likes a smaller prop at higher rpm where as the 65 like's a larger prop at lower rpm.
Any how that 62 sounds great for an every day sport plane. One of the guys at the field had one in a FokkerDVII. I think Uravitch drew up the plans. It really pulled that bipe around and sounded good doing it.
thanks again
