RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

If that's your first try... you've been missing your calling in life! Looks great... good luck with it.

Or thumbs!

My table saw always scares me to death... but so far, no missing digits. I guess fear is a good thing.

Yep, I got the Davis Diesel model also... but not the jumbo, it wasn't available.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

These 4 strokes have a bad tendency to kick backwards, even start backwards. The kick backs could easily break a finger. I learned the hard way too on my 450.... now I only start it with a chicken...

Ditto on the single pitch props... I've never used anything else.

there is a high and low needle valve setting on the 4-strokes... I think the 2-strokes only have a single needle valve.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

It's not unusual to see very little RPM change from half to full throttle on these 4-strokes. The throttle arm opens up airflow through the carb, and above about half or 3/4 throttle, you won't see...

Not to take the thread on another left turn, but......

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I didn't know that cold temps would have that much of an effect. I guess with colder, dense and dry air, you need more fuel to keep the mixture right.

Another good reason to live in the...

Yep.. that second-hand thing is part of the problem here. It sat untouched so long that there are several wrinkles in the covering that just won't iron out. I've ironed them down, it looks great...

I took my Waco with the Saito 450 to the field today for the first "real" flights (I had one really short about a month ago in the rain). All I can say is WOW,... What a motor!

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I used to have a Saito 180 a few years ago on a Lanier bipe.. about a 5 foot wingspan and 13 pounds. The 180 pulled it around like a foamy. You should like the Christen Eagle with that motor.

my first thought would be a hotter plug, like an OS-F... but you may have already tried that.

That could explain how it would run nicely at idle with the cylinder pointing up, but drown out...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I would try a hotter plug, like an OS "F" before I started tearing into things again. My 450 was running very sluggish at high end, and a set of OS plugs made a tremendous difference.
