The Saito just barely fits inside the cowl without any cutouts for the valve cover. I doubt anything with a larger diameter could be made to fit without major surgery on the cowling.

I mounted the 84 in the Corsair directly off the firewall, and contrary to what everyone says, it will fit inside the cowl. I DID grind down the fins on the valve cover just to get a tad bit more...

Mein,
You COULD get away with as few as 6 channels using lots of Y-harnesses or Matchboxes. I think using your 9 channel would be fine. I ended up using 17 channels, but I put everything on it's...

I used one from PSP Manufacturing (www.pspmfg.com (http://www.pspmfg.com)) as they have blue anodized ones that were hardly noticeable against the blue of the cowl. I mounted it near the bottom of...

Thomas,
I attached the oleo door exactly the same way Nick did using elastic from Wal-Mart. Cheap, works perfectly and replaceable should you need to.

Chorner,
I used different servos than the manual recommended. I used Spektrum A5040 servos. A little bigger, but the outer one fits into the opening on the wing panel when you slide it on, so no...

Ted,
I used 4 servos for the gear doors also and used the sequencer built into the DX-18 to operate them individually and incorporated the retract (air) valve also. I had used a Spektrum 12120 12...

njmheli,
I too used the Vanessa sling. It doesn't seem to matter weather the plane is inverted or not, but I did balance with gear UP. It is a little confusing at first, but what I did after I...

I balanced the one I built at the very rearward position of the CG range and flew perfectly at that with almost no trim adjustments. I also balanced upright as it was just easier with the balancer I...

Don,
In all honesty, if you ever installed Robart style hinges before, you really don't need the gauge. I built the Corsair without using any of the gauges and it was just fine.

Tom,
I possibly could have moved the motor an 1/8" down, the lower 2 cylinders were very close to the cowl also, so I am not positive it would have gave me enough room or not. I just ordered a...

Tom,
The Corsair I built used the stock offset in the firewall. I use .200" spacers between the Saito and the firewall. I DID grind the fins off the rocker covers on the top (#1) cylinder so that...

Chris,
Admittedly, I tend to build heavy as I reinforce the firewall, and some of the bulkheads near the nose. Gassers tend to vibrate quite a bit, and having never run the Saito FG-84, I wasn't...

Zeeb,
You know what? It still flew great at about 34 pounds. Nice and smooth in the air, no sinking in the turns, and penetrated the wind nicely. When I felt the weight of the Saito, I was...

Affas,
I'm not sure what happened with your plastic pieces, but mine had no issues. That's not good for you. I even heated the main gear doors with a hot air gun to get the correct curve in them...
