Yep, 7x1mm is the thread size for a Saito .82.

Wanna buy a brand-new, unused 8x1mm prop adapter?

Yep, the same thing happened to me. Had to buy the 8mm one first. Since I fully expect to buy more Saitos, I'm hanging onto the 8x1mm adapter, because that is what will fit the 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.80, 2.20, and several of the twins and radials.

Actually for the 1.00 and the 1.25 the prop nut is M8X1.25 directly from the owners manual on page 17. I almost bought the M8X1. Darn confusing!

the 180's threads are 8mm but the shaft is 10mm. so half of the prop needs to be reamed to 10mm if you use a tru turn

hey all, which one produces more power, a saito 125 or a ys110fz? i love saito and am thinking about putting one in my funtana. i'd have to buy a fuel pump for it due to the location of my tank, so if a ys can turn the same, or better, numbers i might consider that also. thanks a ton!

I think the YS may have a little more power and quicker throttle response. The Saito 1.25 works very well in a F90/X100 and I don't think you will need a pump. I've heard the the YS's can be more tempermental than a Saito, but when they are running right they are wonderful.

Yes, you are right. I checked, and found that the larger single cylinder Saitos ARE 8x1.25mm. Hope I didn't add any MORE confusion for anyone!

OK, wanna buy a 8x1.25mm prop adapter?

go to the horizon hobby website. at each engine, they list all the specifications, including the thread size.

Has anyone had a chance to run the new 62? I'm wondering how the 62 compares to the 72 for power.

A friend asked me the other night if the exhaust threads are the same for the Saito .91 vs. the O.S. .91?
He wants to use the Saito flexable exhaust extensions for his O.S. 91's I guess? (think it's because of a pressure fitting on the Saito flex pipe? )

I know that the threads in the O.S. exh. port opening are 11 X .75mm

I can't find the exh. thread dimensions on Horizon's engine page?

Hi Chaps , Iv recently bought a saito 100 and iv not run it yet. However, I have altered the slow running needle and might have cocked things up a bit. Can anyone tell me what the factory setting should be on the slow running needle prior to running in ?.

The low speed needle on a 100 comes from the factory with the head of the screw flush with the outside of the throttle arm. When you get them set, the screw is usually about 1mm below the surface of the throttle arm.

Hi:

I am trying to figure out how to replace the bearing on a Sait 82 and having some questions:

Do I need to remove the Cam gear housing? And any trick to make the timing is correct?


Thanks all.

I looked for a flexible exhaust to fit the 91. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=SAI65111
It looks like its 12 mm. Doesn't say the thread but since the OS is an 11 mm it looks like it doesn't matter.

On the exhaust pipes that are the same diameter between OS/Magnum and Saito, the thread pitch is different. One has a 1mm pitch and the other a .75mm pitch.

On replacing bearings on the 82, yes, you are going to need to remove the cam box.

With the crank pin/piston at top dead center, the mark on the cam goes straight down

Would some of you folks who have uploaded videos to RCU give me clues on how to do it. Right now it is sitting in Pinnacle Studio and is playable there. Thanks
