My experience with Saito 82 on a profile hasn't been very positive. While it's a great engine, it does have a lot a vibration. As for the profile, a vibrant nose result in a very dynamic fuel tank. I can see the fuel getting twirl around like juice in a blender. It will cause much leaner mixture as fuel is getting consumed, so I end up starting the flight w/ very rich idle setting.
Funny, my 82 is just fine on the front of a rather flexible profile but my 100 shakes like the devil on another.
The 82 has had more fuel through it so maybe (fingers crossed) the 100 will settle down a but after a few gallons.
