The saito will be killer in this plane. You will have great vertical. I had the Thunder tiger 91 4 stroke in mine and it was great. The TT and the Saito will turn the same prop at the same RPM so they should fly the plane about the same. I used an APC 14x6 or 14x4W. The MAS 14x7 scimitar prop also worked good. The only thing the saito has an advantage on is weight. The TT engine is about 3 or 4 oz heavier. It didn't make any difference in my plane. To balance I had to move the battery about halfway back to the tail. I just cut a hatch out of the bottom and stuck the battery in and put the hatch back on. Like I said before toss the wheel pants and order some from SIG. They are made of thick plastic and last forever. I glue the halves together with CA and then use epoxy and fiberglass cloth on the seam on the inside and they ar as strong as fiberglass pants and last much longer and take alot of abuse. Go on sig's web site and do a search for wheel pants and you will get a list with pictures and sizes. They are cheap too. A set for my extra only cost me $8.00.
