Saito FG-90 Radial on 1/4 scale Waco
I know this is a really old thread, but I thought I’d give it a try anyway.
I am very curious how the 1/4 scale version flys with a big, heavy radial. I just started building a Barth 1/4 scale Waco kit. I have a Saito FG-90 R3 radial for it but am concerned about weight of the engine. I’ll have to do considerable reinforcement around the nose of the plane. It is not designed for this big an engine.
I scratch built a rather heavy 1/4 scale Boeing F4B-4 biplane also with a Saito 90 radial. It flys ok, but because it only has ailerons on the upper wing I can’t do a roll without it diving for the ground.
I would love to hear several people say that the engine is not too big and heavy and that it is the perfect engine for a Bart 1/4 scale Waco.
