How did it fit and how did it balance? Did it interfere with the cowl ring and does it get enough cooling in there? I have a 90R3 that I'm thinking to use as well.

Let us know how it works out! Would love to see a video of it flying...
Hi Huang,

no - this is a Saito FG60 R3. It fits easily inside the cowl and the ring. Air intake is plenty - I am just a little worried about air outlet. I will test if it gets sufficient cooling, using a heat sensor a the hottest cylinder. If not I will have to install a baffle. Balance - I don't know at all. Haven't even broken in the engine due to lack of spare time ...
