Spun my cub into dirt nap this morning...

My Saito 56 needs a new plane to fly...I was looking for some recommendations for sport flying or scale for this motor..the weight seems to be around 5 pounds or slightly less for this motor to fly reasonably.

Any help would be appreciated

MrSand

A ModelTech SE5a is fun, too.

I second that....I once had that very engine on a SSE....loads of fun.

Status: offline 		I have several Somethin Extras and have been around a lot of builds where I work. I would recommend the Saito .72 over the .56. The .56 would pull it around fine, but it wouldn't have the extra power to have fun with the SE on high rates imo. However, there is the prop size problem. I have a 2 stroke in the one I'm flying and used an APC 12.25x3.75 prop at one time. I built up a 1/2 inch block under the main gear and still had to take and land nose high. It was all fun.

The Sig Kavalier is a great model for the .56.

You might want to look at a super sportster unless you are into something more high winged. Telemaster ?? ENJOY !!! RED

You can order directly from Sig Mfg. or have your hobby shop order it BUT CALL FIRST to make sure what you want is in stock. Sig has been out of kits/ ARF's for quite a while but are back to cutting kits again. I placed an order back in June and it arrived within a week. They say they will have all kits available by the end of July. They also said NO ARFs right now and they don't have any idea when they will be having any available. Graves RC has a few Sig ARF's and kits in stock last time I checked and you can find them n RCU marketplace.
Good luck.

Status: offline 		WCB... Your account that the smaller engine flew it better is one that I can relate to. I once had a Sig Kougar that flew very well with a .40 and at some point I thought, heck lets try a .60 on this thing... it flew much better with the .40 and I went back to it.

The Saito .56 is a fine engine. I've one in a Flair Sopwith Pup and it flies well. I've the older Saito .50 in a Goldberg Anniversary Cub and it also flies well.... I've not thought more power was needed for either.

Status: offline 		I had the motor in a World Models Clipped wing cub....it was a great motor for the 63 inch span plane..the plane probaly weighed about 5.5 pounds...I agree the motors better suited for 40 class planes...still I need to find the right airframe...probaly something acrobatic or sport weighing less than 6 pounds

Works best if your flying style is smooth and steady and not rocket fast.
