Futaba is a bit cheaper: http://www.nexusmodels.co.uk/futaba-electronic-switch-single-esw-1j-eba0323.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2anhneCt2gIVzJztCh36hwZwEAQYASABEgKScPD_BwE

This probably works as good as Futaba/Powerbox and a lot cheaper: http://www.flytron.com/rc-electronics/65-ultra-reliable-switch-for-rc.html

ASP 52 engine is quite good and not too expensive. See here: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/asp-s52a-two-stroke-glow-engine-w-remote-hs-needle-valve.html

If you're going to get it from them, make sure to select "Ship From UK" (i.e. UK warehouse).

^^^^^ but hanging from the prop up in the loft, the reason for from the prop is so any fuel in the system will A) go back into the take and not through the carb, B) you want to leave the vents, exhaust & carb unblocked as any pressure will build up in the tank and split it and C) any fuel in the engine ends up on the back plate and not the front of the crank bearing (glow fuel rusts bearings).

It seems both low and high ends are too rich. Have a look in here http://saito-engines.info/starting.html

Hope this helps.

This looks good too and much cheaper: http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__34063__Soar_40_Sports_Low_Wing_Balsa_1550mm_ARF_UK_Warehouse_.html.

It's from HK UK warehouse and is similar to Kyosho Calmato sports low wing. I'm thinkng to get one myself for an old Saito 45S engine!

Hi Graham

I've used Aero Kote from Deluxe Materials for fuel proofing. You can get it directly from them or from hobby shops.

http://www.deluxematerials.co.uk/pages/aeroproducts.htm

As for how to get rid of the fuel that has penetrated the wood (if you can!), do search around on the web. I heard that talcum powder or corn flour might help to absorb some fuel/oil from the wood.

Sorry about the Hype Trevor. As discussed, below are links for Saito engine parts:
