I have just recieved my saito 11g and have the valiant too. Going to have the same setup.. love the valiant and just hope its powerful enough for those beauty knifes....
How's the FG-11 going? I've just finished running the 1st of 2 I have in. Something I noticed when I removed the Crankcase cover to inspect inside and to see all is ok with my process, is I noticed the conrod has a casting shrinkage line running directly across the conrod about 3/4 the way up. I'm just checking in with other people to see if they have noticed anything similar with their engines. I pulled the back of the second engine and its the same. Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers
Hey, ik denk er over om een Paar saitos fg11 of fg14's aan te Schaffen om een a26 (twin) aan te drijven. Nu lees ik hier en daar dat deze motoren nogal lastig af te stellen zijn. Motoren zouden perfect synchroon moeten draaien... Wat zijn jou ervaringen? Groet
Dag kristof, Sorry voor het laat antwoorden. Ik heb geen problemen gehad met het afstellen. ik heb enkel de high speed needle bij geregeld. De low speed needle heb ik niet aangeraakt. Veel succes met jou project. Groetjes Daan
@@daanvandeneynde6925 Fg11 is still breaking in but i cant hold knive edge for long, laks a tad of power. Running 13x7 APC prop. Hopefully i will get more power when engine ages
Best way is with an tachometer, by sound is nearly imposible. make it to rich and lean it out till tacho maxes and drops a bit. Then richen again till max rpm minus 200rmp so a little richer than max. Same with low speed needle but than with increments, after each adjusment give a short burst of throttle to remove excess fuel. After low speed is set redo the high speed as it is dependant on low speed. As engine runs in it will run richer so you will need to do this after a couple of flights. Time between needing adjusment will increase.
Outstanding choice of engine!
Certainly not the cheapest option in engine choices, but classy match for that airframe.
Very nice! I just ordered the FG11 today for a 1/4 scale Kitfox, that the plans call for a .40 size glow engine.

How did you run the throttle linkage? I’ve got an fg 14 on mine, and had to do quite a bit of bending to get it lined up
Does the FG11 have enough power for aerobetic manouvres with the Valiant. Currently running with OS GGT15 but it has way to much power.
Hi, the FG11 defintely have enough power for aerobetics.
I will try to make another video with some basic aerobatics.
Thanks for the comment.

Hi, can you please tell me your needle settings, thank you.
I started from the factory settings and adjusted a bit. Unfortunately I don't remember the correct number of turns of the adjustment needles.
