Default RE: WHAT SAITO FOR SIG KADET SENIOR ARF

ORIGINAL: PTS

What would be the optimum Saito 4-stroke and prop for the Sig Kadet Senior ARF. Looking for a good performer not a putt-putt. Plane will weigh approx 6-7lbs.

Thanks,

PTS
From what I know of that plane, it is tail heavy. There is one guy at our field who has been flyng one for years with a pound of lead on the firewall and he uses an OS .46 FX for power.
With that in mind....I'd say an OS 70 FS would be fine. It's a heavier engine with gobs of power for that plane and you may not have to put too much lead up front.
