Put a can muffler on and it will sound as good as a Saito, it has a nice bark because of the straight pipe though and will sound great on my P-61, whenever I get to build it.

Oh I wouldn't say the saitos aren't unreliable running engines. I have an FG-11 that runs great, have 20 hours on it, had to do a valve adjustment and change the plug as it ran a little burbling at...

I don't think it matters really. There is not enough oil in those lines to cause any issues.

The reason Saito uses 20:1 is because they are converted glow engines. The NGH is designed from the ground up as a 4 cycle gas. Interesting to see that there is a port to the pump, so maybe NGH...

Although on my Glow saito I do run 20% oil. Messy, but my engines run great. When I first ran up my FG-11, I saw no oil residue @ 20:1, to upped it to 16:1 for break in. I wanted to make 100% sure...

Since I have several 4 stroke gas engines that all run 20% :1 oil, going to stick with it for the NGH as well. Oil doesn't hurt, just makes clean up a bit more tedious. Lack of oil OTOH leads to crap...

I tend to agree with them on the oil mix. When I got my first gas 4 stroke, a Saito FG-11, the mix is 20:1. At that ratio I saw no residue, so I went to 16:1, then saw some oil out the breather. I...

On the 3 blade, reduce it down a size to a 17. The engine is rated for 2 blade at the 18x10 size, so try a 17 x 8 and see if it is any better.

You need more oil. Should be 35 to 1 mix, a 50 to 1 is too light on the oil and can cause damage. I personally use 32:1, more oil won't hurt it. At least it isn't like the Saito though at 20 to 1.

Early RCXcel were too sensitive to voltage input, and were good only up to a 5 cell NiMh pack, but 4 was recommended. It is possible the 7.4 peak voltage of the Life is what did them in.

I want to run a 3 blade on these for my B-25, but not sure what size will work. The 20 X 8( I think) is too large for the plane as it is 3/4" from the fuse.
