Re engines.  I have a 50, (used) a 56 (first Gold Knight into OZ), a 62 (as yet unused I have managed to get the use of other peoples) and 2 x 65's as well as a couple of ''big ones'' and 2 x gas engines (all Saitos).  My son is sitting vulture like on my shoulder waiting for the day that I ''loose it'' and he will swoop on that part of my engine collection secure in the knowledge that not even the riders of the apocolypse (hope I spelt that right) would get them out of my collection.
The 65 and the 50 are my preferred engines, the 56 and the 62 have proven to be great competition engines.  So

Merry Xmas to all and a great new year.  I am off to welcome a new grand child into the world as well as catch up with the 6 grand daughters and i grand son.  And giving thanks that my army helicopter mechanic son is home from O/S and thanks to Julia's spending there isn't sufficient funds for hin to be sent to Afghanistan next year
Catch ya guys



Put it in your will to be buried with them.

From my own experience between the OS 90 Surpass and the Saito 91, both provide adequate power for their intended craft, but the Saito always seemed the beefier of the two.

Personally, if I had that much to spend I would shop around for a Saito. Just my opinion.



I just traded a Surpass 91 for a Saito 91. I could not be happier. the chap that got the OS was happy too.

I now have a Saito 91 on my list of engines. The little 50 had some trouble yesterday with the cold and the humidity. also last inch of fuel in the bottom of a gallon.
i still took it around three flights. wood stove maxed out, and hamburgers on the grill. good times fellows.

Earl, I can't adjust the one I made, so I'd buy it just to ease the setup Thanks, Dave

Hobbsy, did you use longer bolts to secure the pic-up?  Thanks.

This engine appears to rival the Saito 62 although that depends on which prop you use. I couldn't find a direct comparison so I'll post links to what I found.

OS vs Saito comparison (post #10) http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4334989/tm.htm


Not trying to start a war here as I really like both brands. I just happen to be a sucker for a good deal.

I tried uploading pictures of my new OS with my Saito 65 but it doesn't seem to be working.

Then, there's the nickel plated liner thing. The Saito single piece cylinder is a far better design, imo.

Anyway, you did ask.

Crankcase oil being scavaged through the cylinder is something new but it doesn't seem to affect the performance on this engine. As for the peeling issue, I think that happened to abc engines only and they improved the plating process with the AX series engines. The one piece cylinder head design is better. No arguing with that.

As Hobbsy pointed out, the hall sensor bracket is counterbored & will only require about .5mm longer screws than OEM. If you use 1mm longer screws, you are running the chance of bottoming them out. Better to be .5mm too short than .5mm too long. If you can easily aquire the proper length screws go ahead & do so. If not, just use your head & don't over torque the OEM screws. There's plenty of thread bite eiter way.

I used to concern myself W/having the perfect length screws, but after converting all of my Saitos, it's just another part variable headache. now I just use the OEM screws.

Anybody have a gnarly, gunky Saito 50, 56 in need of an overhaul that they're willing to sell at a good price?

I have a serious question about saito's little 30,one of which i have.How come saito advertises that the fa30 tops out at about 11,000rpm in their catalogue and then on the next page you see a sc30? that looks identical,apart from a few anodized parts and a different carb and they quote 22,500rpm.That's desmodromic valve territory at least do you think??
Assuming the engine stayed together long enough to have a quick sip of beer how much nitro is that thing going to swallow?
