Status: offline 		I've built this plane, and originally flew it with a side mounted Saito .91. Wanting more power, I substituted the Saito for an inverted YS .91. But to tell you the truth, it flew a lot better with the Saito. I guess the 1/2 lb. of weight made a big difference on the 7 1/2 lb model, so I took it out and put the Saito back in, inverted. With the side mounted Saito it fit without having to cut the cowl. YS inverted had a hole on the bottom that the head stuck out of. Also, tried many different elev. actuation methods. The one that worked the best for me was the MK large elevator bellcrank. Keep this plane light and it ROCKS!

Status: online 		I have this setup and had to cut a small square out of the cowl to get it to fit. I would suggest chucking the plastic cowl and getting a fiberglass one. By the way my plane balanced much better with the YS than the Saito 91 or the Supertiger 90 it had in it before. Still can't get the YS to run right so can't tell you about the performance. But I have ruined 2 truturn spinners when it backfires.

Status: offline 		"WOW" ruined 2 spinners ,MY 91 had a piston design flaw that was under warranty ,its a 91ac fz I was having the same sort of probs ,so if your engine is of the same type as mine and hasnt had a new piston put in you may want to check with YS.
