I think you "referred" to the stats. I "checked" the stats. ;-)
Again, published weight figures are unreliable. Your stats are different from Shemp's stats. And both sets of stats are different from my actual weighings. Your weight checks might bring different results than mine.
But by stats or measurements, the Saito .91 is lighter than the O.S. .70 Surpass II! In some cases, a big deal; in other cases, not a big deal at all. In my case, I wanted to try an O.S. four-cycle engine. Tower had them on sale, AND gave a free Futaba 9001 servo (worth over $40) with each purchase! I've heard the .70 Surpass is a sweet engine, so I snagged one.
I've tried three Saitos, and a Magnum .52. So far, I'm a Saito fan. Next, a Y.S! Maybe that will change my preference....
Happy New Year!
