I went to the LHS to get another Saito 72 for my Pizzaz ( I put the original in a H9 Cap .40 I finished last week) and ended up walking away with a Saito 100 for the same price. Got home, mounted it w/ 2 deg right thrust ( I think thats right, please correct me if it should be different), popped on a 14x8, moved the battery to get 3.75 in CG, and fired it up. This thing is going to go like a bat out of hell! Hope the rain clears up tomorrow..... I think this rig will be FUN to fly!

THAT WILL BE FUN!

With a 14x8 you BETTER know how to use the throttle.

I've got a YS 91 AC on mine.... swinging a 13/12 ..... I've got it set up with 2 deg. of Right thrust and 2 deg if down thrust.....seems to be the best setup I've found. It's fun.... I need to get a taller landing gear so I can swing a 14 or 15" prop and then I'm sure it will be really fun.... This little plane is plenty strong for these engines you'll have a blast!!

13x12????? Thats insane. Maybe if you didn't prop it like a pattern plane and used the recommended engine you'd be happier with it.

That is the exact setup I had on my Pizazz.

It flew awesome. Hovers at about quarter throttle and blasts off straight vertical. I useda 14X8 zinger and had to switch to 3" light foam wheels just to get enough prop clearance.
You will love this combo.

One bit of advice from my experience...the aluminum engine mounting rails will snap in half after a few flights. I substituted 1/4 inch ply wrapped in fiberglass wrap. The Saito will shake those aluminum mounts apart, trust me.

Other than that you will love the incredible power to weight this combo affords.
