RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I'm not sure what the draw is but the 7000mah Hobbico gel cell from Tower Hobbies works great. I think there only about $20.00.

The Sullivan Dynatron works perfect on my 180 with no priming at all.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

If you have already ran it for ten minutes below 4000rpm on the extremely rich factory needle settings, then it is time to set HS and LS needles. You should peak the HS and then back it off a click...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

So then you recommend removing at least one? Why do they come with shields if they are lubricated better without them?

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I'm replacing the bearings on a FA-82 and I read in an article to remove at least one of the shields on the rear bearing to allow for better lubrication, is this correct?

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I'm replacing the bearings in my 82 and realized I don't have a gasket for the timing gear case, is it absolutely necessary or will a gasket sealant work?

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

You were right on, I was taking a short cut and leaning my LS before I had peaked my HS just to get an idle to fly. I reset both needles back to factory and did it properly this time and all is good....

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Yes, I have adjusted the LS. There has to be some kind of range for the HS, does 2.5 turns sound like Im in the ballpark? What RPM should I be able to get with the 14*4W?

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Do you think I did any permanent damage? Should I run it again and see what happens or just send it back to Horizon. We're supposed to have some good flying weather this weekend here in Oregon.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I just put some MMO in it and worked it real good. It seems completely free now but I'm wondering what happened. Should I try rumming it again or just bag it and send it back to Horizon? Thanks
