RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
Just picked up a Saito .50 Put it on a Goldberg Eaglet. TF 11X7 wood. lots of fun. previous owner had an idle bar plug in it, LSN way too lean, now - What a sweet heart.

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
just a lot of simulator time. I "flew" a six seat float plane once. problem is that is was all trimmed out and on course. So flying it was just trying to not move the controls. i have a lot of time on MS flight sim and Janes combat flight simulators. not to mention 2000 hours on Realflight 5 So I took the OS LA 40 off of the Tiger 2 ARF that I scored. took the mount off and made up a 1/4 ply firewall doubler. drilled and found some longer bolts for the blind nuts. removed the throttle pushrod and cut the tubes back for the throttle and the steering (if it was a tricycle gear setup) Still need to glue up the firewall double and make some fuse side doublers in the tank area, grind engine mount insides and get engine to fit in without pushing fuse sides out. I already drilled the mount holes are far to the outsides of the fuse as that mount will go setup throttle pushrod, recess for needle valve, refit hatch and recess for fuel lines, I thought of doing a through the hatch set of brass tubes for the supply and pressure lines. i will go get better fasteners and make sure that eveything is the same. I am using some junk fasteners for the mockup. then i need to try to find a larger tank. it currently has an 8 oz tank. this will not last long with the 125. I might need to do a second tank to allow for longer flight times. Then install radio, balance and fly. It took a lot of time to clean it up too. I also found that half of the elevator is broken from the joiner dowel. this will probably get glued and pinned to keep me on the up and down so to speak.

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
[quote]ORIGINAL: AJsToyz A Saito 72 would be plenty, but thats just my opinion. I had a Saito 100 on my Tiger 60 and it could go straight up no problems. Andy [/quote] Captn. Chode. nice avatar. The saito 72 is a dream. the 82 is the same case with more bore or stroke. perhaps not as smooth the thing is that I have a 125 sitting on the bench right now. its calling to me even now. from the garage to the living room. how can we let a saito sit on the bench. they love to sip gas and haul @$$. lets just hope this tail dragger is tall enough so I am not mowing the grass.

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
on a somewhat related topic ... i put a saito .50 on a Goldberg Eaglet. had to add tail weight. need to move the battery back. What a sweet plane. 9.5 minutes on a 6 oz tank and LOADS of verticle. TF 11X7 wood. almost idles around the pattern I need to setup my tank better, the vent does not allow me to fill it up past 3/4. if I sat in a lawn chair i sould surf the wind for probably 25 minutes with this setup. really a joy to play with. so next time you see one at a swap for $20. you may want to pick one up.

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
easier because you are in the plane. and you can see and feel first hand what is happening. I have often wondered. I think perhaps the hardest part of flying full scale is navigation.

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
just picked up another TIGER!!! this one is a Tiger 2 ARF and has an OS 40 LA on it. all servos and rec even. for $125. newer Futaba 3003 servos. looks like a winner. I am thinking of putting the Saito 125 on it. I just havn't had a bad experience with too much engine yet. I may need to fiberglass the front 1/2 of the fuse. What do we think of this?

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
Bikerbc, when doing slips get the feel for your rudder on the ground. then when you do the slip just hit your rudder to X amount and dont think about it. concentrate and pay attention to keeping your wings level. Also be carefull about allowing the nose to pop up planes can stall in a moment during a slip. JKR1100

Bikerbc you can subscribe to a thread and it will send you an email letting you know if someone posts to it. not good for club saito. but for less active thread it lets you know when to go look. it also provides a gauge of how popluar the thread is based on how many subscribers it has. JKR1100

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
a85vette4me #40 Welcome, I think the DLE 20 would be a slam dunk. the only think i worry about is going gas would mean lots of vibration. I put an additional 1/4 inch plywood firewall for 1/2 inch total for the 150 4 stroke. I would think that would be a minimum for a DLE 20. this could be a great combo. think of the long flight times with that engine.

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
Bikerbc you and VincentJ are on the 1/4 scale CW piper cub build thread right? the sig kit. builders of the tiger 60 kit need help and guidance from builders like you. if only they knew how much more time some kits take compared to others. my sig cub is still on the bench, with opening door and window mod, and fuse is almost done. I need to get back into it because i have a Saito 180 to hang on it.

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
RR This technique is mentioned in the instructions that come with the Tiger 60 kit. it works good just make very sure that you are square, this means 90 degree corners. I used titebond wood glue mixed down with milled fiberglass and a small amount of microballoons. I mix with these substances until i get a mix like thick cake batter. I use a disposble brush to wipe this glue into the corners. This has yielded a very strong and light model and I recommend it to everyone. this is not fuelproof.

RE: Goldberg Tiger Club
you guys are going to have a sweet machine. I assume you have seen the youtube video of the "giant tiger" that was flown in the corn field? perhaps just take a digital picture of the plans and then shine them on the wall with a projector. move projector until plans reach desired size. next tape paper to the wall and trace the lines from the image with ruler in hand.
