Quite a bit wrong with that “Special”. Intake tube, carb and backplate are wrong .

A few years ago there were a few 45 Special cases sold on eBay . Could be the case here (?)

Duds, my brother moved to Florida last year. about 100 miles from Daytona. well yesterday and today I tried and tried to call him to make sure he got out. NO answer. I figured the Towers were blown down. he called me about 9pm tonight. said he road it out, said as far as he can see there is 9 inches of water, but half a mile away there is 16ft of it. and, the Gater in the pond behind his hours is missing. said he had to drive to Tampa just to call me and his daughter.

Hi guys,
My club president was able to get the prop drive off, and I found a new connecting rod, but I also need a new crankshaft the rod journal (pin) is worn as well. I cannot find the correct crank anywhere. Does someone know the part number for it?
I can't post pictures yet, otherwise I would.

T, your engine code is D. It appears all the engines, 40 through 56 have a 19mm stroke.

This should be your crank shaft: https://www.horizonhobby.com/product.../SAI5623A.html

You know what?
I'm a bone head. I have 3 engines tore apart and mixed the cranks up.
Nevermind, sorry for the disturbance

This Stik is being released in early November by OSMW

They call it the Raider, it looks perfect for a Saito 62.

, I took notice of the lightening slots in the shear webs, pretty cool eh.

Hey Charlie. A little late, but I am trying to find any build threads on the Cloud Dancer 60. Yours is one of the few posts that even mention it. Any help here?
