Running a Saito FA 125 turning a 16x4W prop, Castle Creations Berg 4 ch RX (postage stamp size). Weighs in at 8lbs 10oz. Needed very little trim. about 4 clicks down and 2 left aileron. Cross wind taxi needed high rate rudder. Took off and didn't have enough power.
Landed after 2 laps and found that it was only pulling about 8600 RPM. Leaned it out a little to 9600 and tried again. Flew much better with the extra power. Motor only has about 45 min of run time on it, so didn't try much with the plane yet. Rolls were right on axis either way and lost very little altitude. Snap rolls were precise but no where near as fast and violent as my Extra 300s, but much better than my UCD. Lands much like the UCD, roll out was maybe 2 feet.
