RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Hi there, so I should not expect this plane to be transformed by replacing the Saito 120 with a 150? i.e. do you believe I will see a marked difference?

Cheers

Hi Guys,

I bought a 120s, new in box with everything included from a deceased estate seller in the US for $225 USD. Was that a good price?
