I just saw this motor listed and love it. Anyone have any negative comments to warn me, before I purchase one? My first and only gas Saito was the FG 36, and this motor was so reliable. I had it in 3 different airplanes, and then sold it. And for real cheap. I wish I had never sold it. The power of the FG 36 was so low, compared to the DA 35, and it was last on an aerobatic airplane, swinging an 18 x 8 prop. I have since put the DA 35 in her, and it swings a 20 x 8 prop, and it is crazy power. Anyways, the sound is what I am after.
I have a 91" aerobatic airplane, it is a yak, with a DA 70, and was thinking this 90 cc radial would sound real real nice. I know it will not have the power of the 70, but should be a real sweet sounding airplane at the field. Now, my da 70 will swing a 24 x 10 or a 25 x 8 prop.
What size prop have you guys used with the radial?
Reason I ask is that the FG 36 manual, recommended props, did not appear realistic to me at all, the best was with an 18 x 8.
SO I was wondering what you all were using and liked.
