The Saito 82 is still lighter than the YS 63
I just love when someone posts this....I always wonder where they got their info from....

Fact #1 - the ys 63 is 0.1 oz lighter than the Saito 82 (measured on a postal scale). Now granted, the Saito 125 is 2.6 oz lighter than the ys110.

Fact #2 - I have a Global Freestyle, older design that is similar in size, weight, wing area, and style as the Inspire. My ys 63 has plenty of power to perform all types of 3d on this plane with room to spare. There have been guys who put heavy 91 4-strokes on this bird without issues. It has enough wing area to fly well with the extra 6 oz. I do not see why this plane would differ so much.

Fact #3 - I have personally witnessed a guy who had similar issues with another design. He bought an arf like his friend. Both plane had similar setups. One flew great, the other a dog. Several guys (even seasoned pattern flyers) tried to help him trim this bird, but nothing any of did helped much. The guy ended up selling it (said life was too short), then turned around and bought another. This plane flew fine and had no issues.....none...

Go figure...but I understand where Cafeenmans' frustration comes from...but it still won't stop me from buying this plane
