My sentiments exactly.....Always seems to be a new plane that is "engine specific"...wont fly well with most readily available engines, and although they are great engines,the YS engines are certainly costly, and finicky to get set up properly.
I guess I am going to go with the OS 1.20 and hope its good for it.............
$335 Ys VS $379 OS 120 pumped since they YS is pumped

I put mine in the plane. started it, set the high speed needle. ran 1 tank. and have been flying ever since.. wich is also same experience with my OS 120 4 stroke


A Saito 150 is almost EXACTLY the same power as the 110. IN fact i believe it has a shade more. It does weigh more but not dramaticly more..my showtime with the servo on rudder in the tail did not balence untill i moved the throttle servo to the firewall.. so my guess is with the 150 you could just leave the servo where it is and the 150 would be perfect and only weigh in the low 9s in weight.. 8 to 9 oz more than an EF yak big deal.. if you flew it you would say where is the extra weight. trust me..

I dont think i would have the gazoonaz to put a 100 on it and get down on the deck[X(]
