My Chinn Yakk has equal odds at a Saito 72 or 82. It depends on which other plane I crash first, to free up the engine.

Just go ahead and buy the thrust plates. They work much better-don't just crush into the wood mount- they're cheep and you will have plenty for you next several progects.

Status: offline 		I do one washer, just because it feels better for me. I like the thrust line a little closer to center than most folks. I'm in the minority there.

I don't see the plates on the OMP site either. Maybe just call John and see if they still have them or not. Also, Paul Swany used to sell them.

Status: offline 		Ok, I know this is going to stupidly overpowered, but I stuck my saito 91 on my yak. Fully built and with no fuel I came in at 4 lbs. 11 oz. I stuck everything I could on the opposite side of the engine to lateral balance it. The engine is mounted pretty far back. When I went to balance CG I started a the beginning 5'' and still had to put the battery in to almost the leading edge of the wing. So I ended up balancing at 5 1/4. I also made it so I can move my battery back when needed. Also I didn't like the hardware. I broke 2 rods trying to screw on the ball swivels. I ended up using some other stuff I had laying around from another kit.

Status: offline 		tailtwister got my offset plate in...what leading edge do I use the fat side or the smaller tappered edge. If I use the fat side it way over the size of two washers, should I cut it in half and start from there ?

Status: offline 		The thrust plate is 2 degrees. Cut it about 1/8" bigger than the engine rails put it under the engine rails. It doesn't matter if you use the thick part or the thin area - It's still 2 degrees.

Status: offline 		Scott is correct. 2=2 no matter what. But, I'd use the thinner part to keep the engine as centered as possible. It won't make a big difference, but that's my $0.02 for the record.

Status: offline 		That's a pretty small engine for this plane. I think it would probably do OK but I'm concerned that it will require a bunch of weight to be added to the nose for balance and negate the weight savings making her pretty sluggish.
