Thanks Dave. I had to sell a few things to make the move but I managed to keep 12 Saitos from 30 to 120 size plus some other brand four strokes as well. The Playboy Senior is a large pylon type...

G'day. Interesting that they have kept the 91 with the 82 and the 100 so close in size. From what I remember, the 65 and the 91 were part of a series of engines that were phased out but it seems I...

G'day Pete. Thanks for setting me straight. The 91 disappeared here (Australia) some time ago and the 91S must be a more recent version. You have to give it to Saito - 30, 40, 56, 62, 72, 82, 91,...

The 82 is a recent design. The 91 is from an older, now mostly extinct, series. The 91 has not been made for several years. I think if you want a 91, then100 is the current...

G'day

I second John Buckner's comment - the Sig Kadet is a 60 size model which only needs a 40 size engine as it is nice and light. This means it does not need to fly fast to stay in the air.

You do seem to be having a lot of dead sticks. I'd suggest the following -

1. Check the tank and all the fuel lines. Perhaps you have a leak or perhaps (and this happens quite...
