The Saito looks awesome and with hope cheaper. Does anyone know if horizon will carry it? I do like the closed rocker covers too. !~) Maybe at the upcoming AMA show there will be some info.

Yes, they are wonderful, but I don't think I like the open rocker design. One nose over and the rockers will be full of grass and dirt.


I thought the same thing when I saw the pic of the engine. That's what the original OS .60 4-stroke looked like, AIR. One had to squirt oil on the rockers periodically.

Status: offline 		When this thread got started I called Horizon and asked about the motor. The techs in the engine repair department had never heard of it. While on the phone they got on RCU and took a look at it. The guy then put me on hold for a minute. When he returned his comment was it would most likely take more than a year to reach the states after it is released in Japan.

Status: offline 		Hi every one, i just recived a saito fa-220gk [zeuse] directly from saito japan...
in the box they included a flyer about the new FG-36 with all the specs, and it lookes like (from the diferant potos) that a conversion is also avalable! i cant understand it because it is in japanese... but it does have pictures of the 150 and 180 aswell?
this could solve all the oil problems related with a masive glow engine

Do we know that they have installed bearings on the con-rod, otherwise we will still need quite a bit of oil. Either way i am very interested, price is not too bad either, considering what the RCS50 goes for just short of $1k, this is looking to be around $720, according to the Yen confirsion. RCS turns a 20x10 at 6000 according manufacture figures, the Saito a 20x8 at 7300. Neither indicate prop brands used to acheive these figures.

Some prop brands are indicated on the table to the right for the Saito. For example, APC 18x10 @ 7550 rpm, Bolly 19x8 @ 8300 rm, Bolly 19x10 @ 7400 rpm, Bolly 20x8 @ 7300 rpm, 3W 20x8 @ 6400 rpm, CHP 20x8 @ 6900 rpm.

I'm anxious to find out when this engine will hit the store shelves.

Click the WMV files located right of " Edge 540 2.2m Saito FG-36".
The first file is of the first flight and the lower is the second one.
Attractive four stroke gas sound.

Richard L,

Yes, I'm thinking of using it too, for Don Smith 85' Hien(Tony).
I've got OS 160FX-FI already for Hien, but changed my mind.
The sound beats a bit more exposure out of the cowl.

Status: offline 		Wow two of my loves; saitos and gas engines combined. Now aside from having someone to buy one for me in Japan, how else can I get one here. The power seemed good in that 50cc model but I wonder what 3D flight would be like. Regardless it sounds awesome and it will certainly find a home in one of my planes.
