Status: offline 		Going to build a mojo 60.Do I go with the Satio 100.Or the o.s 91 .Does anyone have one with a o.s 91.Just wondering how it performs in a hover?.I would like to get a satio 100. But I just can't trust them. All I own is o.s 4 strokes [to heavy]and 2 strokes.I find them the most reliable engines out there easy to start and no dead sticks.I have not had good luck with a satio fa 72 I owned.It would just dead stick all the time and I could not trust it so I finally sold it. What kind of luck have other guys had with a satio?

Status: offline 		The saito 100 is THE engine of choice for that plane. If you were having dead stick problems then there was something wrong with the setup or tuning. Once tuned, every saito I have is DEAD nuts reliable.

Status: offline 		I have the mojo 60 with Saito 90 and 15X6 APC. It is simply super. It hovers at half stick. I put the Saito 100 on the OMP Ultimate bipe, again super!!! I will put the Saito 125 on the Mojo 65......
All my Saitos are super perfect engines.......... Light, powerful and too regular....

Status: offline 		Again, Chuck, I think you are in the minority on this one. It sucks you have had a bad experience with the Saito and Horizon but I have had nothing but good luck with both. I believe that most will agree with me. I'll still take that broken 100 off your hands if the price is right.[)]

Status: offline 		i agree w/ akfiremedic. i have three saitos( 82,100,125) the only deadsticks i`ve had w/ any of them was when i ran out of fuel because i was having too much fun. 2 strokes, on the other hand, is the reason i tried 4 strokes. they ran fine new but get a little time on them & dead stick city. i only need to have the needles close on a saito & they won`t go dead. i think there easier to tune also. set em & forget em.

Status: offline 		Another vote for the Saito 100 on the MOJO 60. I fly the Mojo 60 Moass that weighs 6lb2oz and the 100 will hover at 1/4 throttle with a 16X4W APC. Very smooth and reliable...and like others have said, the only time I have dead sticked was from having too much fun and ran out of fuel.

Just my .02 worth.

Status: offline 		Chuck, firemedic is right. As an example, I had a bad experience with a Saito and I hated it. On the other hand, I put a Saito 100 on a Mojo 60 and it was awesome. I think we all get a dud engine once in a while if we R/C much.

Status: offline 		If you are dead seat against the Saito engines, then use the OS 91FX. Both engines will fly the MOJO 60 just fine. I prefer the Saito's to the OS engines every time as I have 30+ Saito's that I can't kill and numerous FX or Surpass engiens that have peeled sleeves or bad bearings.
