engine dilema
I crashed my 4 star 60 lst night and do want to build another, at the same time I've already bought a Hog Bipe and was getting ready to start the build soon. I was planning on putting my ST 75 into the hog bipe but now I can choose between it or the OS 91 FS pumped from my 4 star. I love the way the 4 stroke flies the 4 star and have never flown a Hog Bipe. If you had the choice what would you do?

RE: engine dilema
I am in the midst of building a Hog Bipe and chose the Saito 100. It was down to an OS91 surpass, or the Saito, and I chose the Saito because I wanted the Golden Knight version. If you want to see how it is going, I am doing the Hog Bipe build thread in the kit forum. You will probably run into the problems that I have and find the the carb/needle valve will need reversing. This puts the throttle cable in the center of the fuse, but it can be set up that way. You can PM me if you end up choosing the Saito and I can take pics of the install if you need.

RE: engine dilema
Unless you modified it, the Hog Bipe is an open-cowl exposed engine sport plane. I would use the ST75 because of that. Save the 91 4stroke for a cowled airplane.

I can't stand four strokes. I like the 2 strokes better.

Check your local ordinances... In some states it's ILLEGAL to put a 2-Stroke in a Bipe (Or at least it SHOULD be!)
4-Stroke in the Sig Pig and 2-Stroke in the 4*
