Hello everyone, I'm getting my saito 180 this week and I sould have my stearman in the next couple weeks following. Anyway are there any thoughts as to weather or not use 2 or 4 servo's in the wings??? I am hearing that the 180 might but at the far end of the envelope as far as power to airplane ratio goes and I wouldn't want to end up with another pile of smoldering fuel soaked balsa. So are any opinions on this subject? Also I am curious about this vibration phenomenon with the 180, soft mount or soes it really matter? I'm thinking 18-8 and low rpm 8000-8500. Low RPM = low noise oh yeah gotta like that putt putt sound.

This is the perfect engine for this plane. Of couse, thats my opinion. I had to add ZERO weght to this plane with the Saito 180. It gives me just the right amount of power, and allows me to get out of trouble if needed. I have about 20 flights on mine, and love it. It also allows me to ad a smoke tank later on. I cant wait for good weather. This is definatly a Sunday good weather plane.

The only issue I have with the Saito, is I get about 5-6 flights out of a gallon of glow fuel. i am using 15% nitro Omega fuel, and it gulps it down like water. I just chalk it up to big ol burley slogging airplanes.

Good luck
