I just finished installing my Saito 91 and it fits perfectly, only the head protruding, now I need a project for the 100

Default OS 1.20!!!!!!!!!!

I recently finished this plane and I used an OS 1.20 Surpass III (Pumped). Runs absolutely flawless and pull the plane straight up forever. It will torque roll at about 1/2 throttle. I did move 2 servos to the tail because I knew it would be nose heavy with the OS in there. With my altered servo location it balanced perfect with no lead. This is definitely my favorite plane in my fleet. Prop is a Zinger Pro 16X6. I went with wood to save weight. Hanging a large APC up there would have required the use of lead and I wasn't going to do that. Even with the wood prop it is truely unlimited. Takeoff is like this: Full power for about 50 ft.....Pull Vertical....... Climb to about 400 feet......flatspin back down......NEED I SAY MORE?

Note the bigger rudder! The elevators are enlarged too!

You can see the tail mounted elevator servos in this pic (Same on both sides):

Default Inside

Here is how the insides look so you can get an idea of how it will balance and where I put things.

The Left side is towards the Aft end of the plane.....Note the Pull Pull rudder. IMHO it is the only way to go. Far easier and much more precise than the rods. I installed the 4 tubes like the instructions said. 1 is unused (Top left corner of pic), 2 are for the pull-pull cables, and 1 is for the antenna wire. Works for me!

Thanks for all the input. I'm not ready to run out and buy an engine today (I have lots of building to do before that becomes necessary) but I will probably go with the Saito 100. If I am unhappy with the stock muffler there is always the aftermarket to turn to- http://www.pspec.com/4strokemufflers.html
