I have an electric Filton 330S (59" Wing) and want toconvert it to a glow engine. The maual recommends a 70-90 4 stroke and also recommends the Saito .82. No sure what I should put on it. I have heard varying things about the Saito .82 some good and some bad. I like the price of the Magnum 91 but do not know much about magnum. Anyway what are some recommendation you guyshave?
Thanks,
Dan

I converted mine from glow to electric. I had a saito 91. The magnum is a decent engine too, but a little heavier than the saito. If I did it again it would get a 100.

I have the Fliton Edge 540 with a saito 100 on it, and talk about a blast to fly. (over powered= just right) I think the specs are close on these 2 planes so the magnum 91 would be a good option, and would fly it fine. I have several of the magnum engines, and get great service from them. I have the 91 magnum on my UCD 60 and its a blast to fly. Hobby People has the magnum 91 on sale right now I think $139, can't beat that.
