I will tell you that in the Saito engines that there is certain ones to buy like why buy a .91 when the 125 is close to the same weight. of the saito's
no reason to buy the 1.80 when the 220 puts out more and is the same weight.
the saito 40 is 10.5 ouncs
from the 56 to the 82 there is only 1.5 ounces difference so why buy the smaller ones the 82 is almost as strong as the 91. the 91 is only 2.3 ounces more than the 82. the next engine of choice is the 125 with a weight of 21.9 ounces only 3.5 ounces more than the 91. So kinda see what i am talking about with my choices on which of the saito 4 strokes to buy.
saito 40 on most 30 size planes and smaller
saito 82 on small to med size 45-55 size planes
saito 125 on large 45- med size 120 planes
saito220 on large 120 size to 30 cc planes
Not sure where your numbers came from but a bare Saito 2.20 is 6 oz. heavier than a 1.80 and with exhaust, it's 7oz. heavier.
A Saito .91 is the same weight as a 100. The 125 is 2 oz. heavier.
