Thanks for the info. Guess you've had an Enya in the past.
Do you think I should just mount that in the plane?
Does the Saito 100 make much more power than the .91 that I should spend the money?

Am starting to think that's what I should do and if I find I'm not happy with the Enya get the 115 when it's finally available.

Whaddya think?

If spending money for new you might a s well get the 1.15 because if you get the 1.00 you'll get the 1.15 later anyway, I know how the thing works. W8YE has my Saito .91 for that very reason, the 1.00 came out right after I got the GK .91, he traded a plane to me for the .91 and I bought the 1.00 which now resides on a Senior TeleMaster.

I noticed that the 1.15 uses the same exhaust system as the 1.25. I am anxious to see some performance numbers.

I couldn't tell ya which version mine is for sure, but I would bet the bigger one. Only reason is because it's at LEAST 12-14 years old ! lol
Guess what I really should do is weigh the darn thing!
I was told a 120 size engine ends up being too heavy for the plane and you then need to start adding tail weight.

Hobbsy,

I wasn't pushing a sale! I am curious as to the performance numbers on the engine. Smaller displacement vs. larger muffler, etc.

Jim

Status: offline 		Interesting thing here Jim

Saito 1.00 Bore=1.14, Stroke=1.02 Benckmark prop==14x8
Saito 1.15 Bore=1.25, Stroke=.94 Benckmark prop==15x8@8,800
Saito 1.25 Bore=1.24 Stroke=1.02 Benckmark prop==16x6@9,000

Looks like they set the 1.15 up for a big load for its size.

I agree. It may turn out to be a powerhouse for the size and weight.
