Default RE: Saito 90 radial - help with model selection?


ORIGINAL: Solstice

I have a Saito 90 triple. What models are folks recommending for this engine? I assume it has to be very light as this in not the most powerful 90 plus it needs a fairly short nose moment to handle the weight.

Second question, do folks run this with a glow assist of some sort or is it reliable without? If using glow assist, what brands are favored?

I appreciate everyones comments

If you want to build a kit, search Tower or the auction sites for a Top Flite "Elder". It is an old fashioned looking monoplane. You will probably have to shorten the nose a tad, but, being a kit, that isn't really a problem.

Or, find a Super Sportster .60, butch the nose and mount her up.

A GP Big Stik .60 will work fine and can be had in ARF versions if you don't want to build.
