Carburetor

The carburetors used on gasoline four-stroke engines
are exclusive to Saito. Since they have a negative
pressure type fuel pump, the engine can be mounted in
any position.
NOTICE: Always remove fuel from the carburetor
after flight. Not doing so will result in rubber engine
components (such as the diaphragm) deteriorating
over time, causing loss of engine performance.

unwanted interference. Please refer to the diagram
below.
The Saito ignition has an operating voltage from
4.8–9.0 volts. Saito recommends the use of a 5-cell
Ni-Cd/Ni-MH battery or a 2-cell Li-Po/Li-Ion/Li-Fe with
a minimum of 1000mAh. The recommended battery is
the Team Orion Avionics Li-Fe Receiver Pack 1300mAh
6.6V (ORI60503).
