FW190 D9 Engine question
O.K. FW190 guys I got a question for you all. I have a framed up
Top Flite FW190. Ready for final sanding. Ready to pick and engine. I was planning on a Saito FA-91S. Yesterday I bought a Saito FA-80 for $40.00. Used but not abused. Do you think this engine will be good in this plane. I know TF says the plane should be around 8-10 lbs., and Saito says the 80 will haul a
14 1/2 lb. plane. The Saito .91 is 1.7 h.p. and the .80 is 1.3 h.p.
Would I be too under-powered? Or just get the .91?
Thanks for any help.
Todd
p.s. if the .80 wouldnt be good, I guess I could put it in my Magic

Burl, I think the 80 Saito will be fine,I had a Pica fw190( about the same size and weight) flew it with a old OS61 and it flew great.The 80 Saito should produce at least that amount of power .I had one and it was great.

Jerry,
thanks for response so far. I believe TF prototyped this bird with a .61FX and it hauled it around. I figure the .80 should as well?
