Hey, Karl...

I almost caught you red-handed...

Rajib

DarZeelon what do you mean by that ?
Also I don't understand message of freakingfast: deleted by me

DarZeelon

I saw his message, Rajib, before he deleted it.

I wish to respect Karl's decision to remove it; so I will not write what it was about, despite the fact that I wanted to reply to it.

I've had both the Saito 72 and 82. Both are great engines.I currently have a YS 63S and the YS 70. You can't go wrong with either Saito but for insane power in a small package YS 70 is the way to go. Here is a link to a great site with a lot of information if you go with a Saito.

For 3D flying do I need pump system for Saito 82 engine or just exhaust pressure will work fine?

Exhaust pressure works fine

Rajib

Okay then Saito 82 engine is final, I am going to buy this one and any advice for this engine will be appreciated.

14x6 Xoar, JXF, or APC sport pull well for 3D on the 82. It is a good choice for first 4-stroke.

Rajib

Thank you ThumbSkull for the information regarding propellers.

Good choice for your first 4 stroke. Saitos are good sport/3D engines that run very well. When new they tend to eat a lot of fuel but once you tune them well they are great engines. No pump is necessary, in fact they run ok without any pressure sometimes. I have a saito 150 on a plane and because of the way it is setup the tubing going to the muffler falls off every other flight. I don't even notice it until after I land and am fueling up for the next flight.

I don't encounter such problem with my Saito FA-150S...

This Golden cam cover looks nice but if I am not wrong then this golden cover comes with GK version which is black colour, but not in Silver version right?

mike109

G'day The gold tappet covers are usually found on the black Black Knight versions but not always.

The 120S was a silver engine with the gold covers and as you can see, Kosta's older 150S (old style muffler) was similar.

But, my 150S which is fairly recent is black but is not a Black Knight and had silver tappet covers.

I happened to have a near dead 120S given to me so I put its gold covers on my 150S to confuse people.

Cheers

Also my Saito FA-120S has Gold Rocker Covers.

I've bought both engines used and that covers came with the engine,ofcourse....

I see that Golden Knight version ,though, has silver Covers and not Gold !

Mike, does yours have a letter on the right mounting lug, I have one of earliest 1.50s from either 1990 or 1991 whichever was the year they were released. Mine is black with chrome rocker covers and very high compression.

PS, this one has no letter designation on the mounting lug.

I just got an e-mail from Josh Vandeventer of Horizon Hobby, Inc. [International Sales ], he has wrote me: Dear Rajib, Thank you for your interest in our products. Unfortunately we cannot sell Saito outside of the US

Horizon isn't the only place to buy saito new. Also you could just buy the engine in the RCU marketplace and have it shipped or find someone traveling to a neighboring country and pick it up there. I've been out of the US for almost 10 years but almost all my rc stuff comes from there. There's always a way to get it. Certainly there are other flyers with saito engines, find them on a forum or at a club and find out how they get them. If not go magnum and buy from tower, they will ship it to you.

You may want to establish a good relationship via an online hobby shop, like advantagehobbies.com or hodgeshobbies.com. I don't know if they ship overseas, but you get the idea. Also, buying from the Market Place was a good suggestion.

[X(] Gringo Flyer what are you saying? Magnum as a replacement for Saito? I am not going to buy Magnum, same engine is available in India by name of ASP and I have no plan to spent money for Magnum/ASP. I am trying to find someone who can help me to get engine from USA. If I don't find anyone then I may better go for OS 4 stroke but never Magnum/ASP.

asmund

What`s wrong with the Magnum/ASP? I have several in different sizes from .30fs to 180fs, works great. Runs fine on anything from 0-30% nitro. Especially the .91 size has a very good reputation in fact. It is not beautiful to the eye as the saito, but performance is great and weight is 640 grams which is normal for the size. Only saitos are lighter.

I own YS fourstrokes too, which of course are great engines, but I use my ASP`s just as much if that means anything

G'day Dave. I will have a look at it next time I am out in the shed and let you know. Cheers. Mike in Oz.

I will put my magnums 4 strokes up against the OS any day and keep the extra money. Nothing wrong with magnum.
