Funtana and saito

[Stainless Skills]

See that’s probably a setup problem. I could hold a hover at a tad above half throttle, I had no throttle curve and the arm on the carb was half way through the travel when I was hovering.

It all depends upon the needles on the engine and the prop.

I was using a 16X4 and no spinner. I think that my high speed needle was only turned out 1.5 turns too. If I turned it out to 2 turns the airplane would fall like a wounded duck from a hover because the engine was not getting enough power.

With a saito 100 on the ground you should be getting 9600 rpm easily with 30% and a 16X4 apc. With a 125 I imagine you should get a couple hundred more.

A slight change in the high speed needle setting can have a great effect on engine power in flight..... that and using suck props.

Im using no throttle curve either and my throttle arm is also half when the stick is at half. The engine is a little rich at first but if I lean it out anymore it gets too lean after about half a tank. It does have better power when the tank is half or below.

This is only my second 4 stroke so im not real sure about tuning

my first was a ys 110, never got it running good. I think Ill stick with gas.

If your looking for a 3d type plane for the saito 100 i would suggest teh tmpro kat 70. I personally use a 91fx on mine but the saito would be awsome. Great plane to learn stuff on. Very little to no coupling its a winner in my opinion. Check it out http://ohiomodelplanes.com/62katanaarf/

and nice flying casey did you get bored decaling up that yak?

Go with a YS 110. It has very good power and if you don't run out of fuel first you will never have a deadstick. Use 30% heli fuel it's a match made in heaven. You may need to add some nose weight because it's a little nose heavy.

thanks for the help guys
I think im going to go with the fliton edge

100 will fly it ok
but at the cost of...
no hovers
no vertical
not even at peak running 30 % heli
