Hello all. I haven't posted in a while and wanted to get the latest trends and ideas.
I have a few models that are Saito powered and I would like to convert (or replace) for gas power.
I have a low time FA-125 that runs great in my TF P-51. A FA-72 in my classic Kyosho Stearman; An FA-100 pickled just sitting in a box...
I have a fairly new FG-14 that needs an airframe...
With the high price of glow fuel and I don't see it going down any time soon -- I think it is time to jump. I love the saito sound in the mustang and can't see putting in a DLE or something 2 stroke.
Is converting the 125 worth it? Is there a kit from CH Ign for this small engine? Should I just sell it and get the FG-21 instead?
How well does the converted engines run vs. the same FG size? Any experience you care to share?
Will the glow carb do the trick or will a 3rd party carb setup be better?
The Stearman is a really tight install and it will be a trick to add the ignition box and second battery...
Decisions --- Decisions! Any thoughts are most appreciated.
Thanks!
