Saito FG 20 cc gas engine

[local907riders]

sad to hear about all those problems but it is cool in theory i suppose

[soverato3]

that was the very very first start up...... noww

[Sergeantsteamer]

@saillfish Could you please tell me. What is your Hi & Low speed settings at? I can't seem to get mine running just right.

Thanks!

I hope this wasn't the 1st run of the engine?

got to break it in sloooow..

The conrod to crankshaft is the part that must take time it mate the metals...

[Pilotsofer]

I saw your forum thing on rcu

[FIZSAL]

I love this saito engine

[framelocator]

Yeah,clubmembers complained about the saito gassers too.

Seems saito made some mistakes in the haste to release a gasser engine.They modified a glow engine instead of a purpose build gas engine.

[framelocator]

Rumors got round about valve sticking in the fg-36.Did you experience any kind of problems with your engine?What is the total runtime of yours?

Thanks in advance.

[saillfish]

Returned it to horizon and got my money back. Turned out to be nothing but problems. Replaced it with a YS 1.40 and I am SOOOO happy I did. Read all the post on RC Universe on the FG-20

[peckerwood57]

Why is your gas blue?

[saillfish]

Honda HP2 Oil

[crazystufffff]

such a sweet idle!

[kochj0713]

that seems more usable than there 5lb 32cc 220alcohol conversion engine..

[matfinkboy]

Oh man, i love Saito engines, i cant wait till they make a 10cc one.

[strikeronetuber]

They are coming soon with a FG-14, based on their .82 ;)

[kochj0713]

The fg 20 has a little less power than the zenoah 20cc gas 2-stroke.... (I watched 2-funtana 100x with each engine in it. THe fg-20 did well, but the 20cc gas had more musturd)

[Gpointoperator914]

very nice engine, i also have one what comes in my P-51, just need it to brake in.

Isn´t the prop a bit too large? in the manual i read you had to take a light load prop as possible for brake in?

[saillfish]

I had run it for 40 minutes with a smaller prop before making the video. I use a 15X8 apc. I am going to use a 16X4W apc on my funtana X100.

[Gpointoperator914]

ok, i break it in also with a 15x8 apc and want to fly with it, hope it is succesfull and works well in my H9 Miss America!

[crazyflyboy30]

I have funtana x100 with a Saito 150 with a 16x8 it has the mustard !

[krayzc1]

on i listen again and here u r doing it on a Funtana kewl i will be watching on RCU to see what is the deal...... i bet that thing will be a gas sipper of a 6-8 oz tank for flying.

[krayzc1]

nice what r u going to put it on
