I had mine a bit tail heavy to help ground handling. Still flew fine.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
I have found that improper prime will sometimes cause a backfire and throw the prop nut. All my Saitos are inverted, so maybe that's why hydrolocking is never a problem?

[quote]ORIGINAL: jeffie8696 11,100 -seems a little high for me but its a small engine and I have heard of people running them much higher so I am not sweating it. IÂ generally prop my .50 at 10,000 static to protect the valvetrain. [/quote] I imagine the smaller engines can handle higher RPMs better than the larger ones, but I like a 10x8 or 10x9 on my .40. On acrobatic planes a 11x5 or 6 is good.

Then my money is on the low side being too lean [quote]ORIGINAL: flyingt5150 I have taken the needle valve all the way out. No junk in there. I did notice there is a nipple on the bottom of the crankcase.  I think this is the breather for the engine or is this to pressurize the tank. I have never had a four stroke behave like this.  Engine is mounted ninety degrees. thanks for any help. [/quote]

Richen the low side. Take the needle all the way out and make sure there's not goop in there clogging stuff up.

I use MA 10x8 and 10x9 props on my Saito 40. Three blade 10x7 MA props also work great. 15% Wildcat.

My new 56 turns an 11x9 prop at over 10500 running rich. Ordered some 11x10 and 11x11 props. More powerful than I expected. Only 2 tanks through it so far...

I never put any belief in paint colors as conductors of heat. It would get hotter from the absorption from light of the sun if it is black vs a lighter color, though.

Perhaps bottom end too rich still. Try a OS Type "F" plug to minimize any present and future plug issues.

It would be so wonderful if you could share the pages of that book with the rest of us. The folks on this forum would love you. If you could scan it I could host the pages on our club's website server space so you could send the link to whomever you like.
