Status: offline 		well i got to maiden my plane today. it flew real nice! my saito 100 wasn't idling well so i wasn't going to get crazy just yet it did knifedge extremly well. with the stock tank i flew for 3-4min. i will run out of fuel in 5min. i will take a look in the hobby shop tomarrow to see what i can replace it with. i'm going to fine tune a few things and hope that the weather holds out next weekend and try again.

Status: offline 		If your looking for a bigger tank I used a world models 380cc tank. With the saito 100 i am getting about 15 minutes of flight time with the motor running sloppy rich. It is going to take some modifying to put it in though.

Status: offline 		well i did it, i put a 16oz tank in her. the stock tank was 8.5oz and i got about 5 min run time. i'm hoping to get about 10-12min run time. the butt end of the tank is touching the wing saddle as high as i can get it. its alot closer to the cg that should make up for the extra weight. i flew mine with the cg at 2 3/4in.i'm going to set it at 3in next time and go from there. i'm also using a 15/4 apc, i think i'll try more pitch too.
i just bought some of that curtis youngblood fuel so maybe on turkey day i'll go fly again.

Status: offline 		I was just wondering if anyone had any new flight reports? The weather here has been horrible and it is not looking good in the future. I may be grounded till spring at this rate which reallys sucks . I cannot wait to get mine back in the air!! Also has anyone tried any other props like a 16 x 4?

Status: offline 		Anyone flying this plane with a 91 fx two stroke? I figured at just barely an ounce heavier then a 61 it wouldnt be a bad choice. The price is about right as well......How are these planes handling in the wind?

Status: offline 		The .91 works great in the edge we tested it a .61 and a .46 on the edge and the .91 one was the best overall choice for 3D. You are right about the weight also it relly wouldnt make since to put the .61 in it unless you had it or didnt want insane 3D perfomance. It also handles the wind very well and is such a clean plane it cuts through the wind no problem. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Status: offline 		What are you getting for weight? With the OS 91. FA 100 etc etc etc.

I am undicided on what engine put in it.

Did anyone else have to sand the upper wing saddle, not sure what it is called. I had to sand the piece the canopy is on to get it to go on smoothly

Status: offline 		Witha the FA-100 mine came in just under 6.5 pounds. Now i did not goto any point to build mine light. If i really tried i am sure i could get mine down to 6 pounds even, but with this motor i really do not need to. Also i did not have to sand the upper wing saddle.

Status: offline 		Hey guys, I have posted in a few other Aeroworks 540T posts and love the information I get out of it. I have stated in the other posts that I was hoping my better half would be buying me one for Christmas, well, the other day I had to check the CC bill and to my surprise, she did purchase one for me!!! YEAH!!!!! So it looks like I will be putting mine together in about 2 weeks!!! I am happy, all good things I hear about this plane and with my Saito 100, it will be my new favorite plane I am sure... Does anyone have any pix of their cowling and how they had to cut it for a Saito 100? Also DOES ANYONE HAVE A VIDEO YET!? Thanks...

Status: offline 		SaCCaL if you look at the top of the page MustangAce posted a pic or two of his. I will be starting on mine this week. As for video I know MarkDennis has some. I am hoping that he posts his soon. I know i am dying to see it.

Status: offline 		chadvone I think your 91 will work fine. If you want more power you could always upgrade to the 100 or even the new 125 that is coming out this month. As for building them light, with my Saito 100 i cannot even notice the weight. I have a huge battery pack in mine also. I am sure that i could cut down on alot of weight but my plane flys great already so why go through the hassle.

I'm building mine with Saito91 4 stroke. Seems like the 380cc tank is the way to go. Did you have to make any alterations to fit the 380cc tank?

Thanks.

Status: offline 		cmircman - Yeah, I saw the pix at the top of the page, I was just hoping to get some different views like from the side and stuff and also I am sure there may be more than one way to cut the cowling. Just wanted to get a few ideas. Good luck on yours, keep us up to date on any tips you may find. Thanks.
