Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF


ORIGINAL: oneqwk96gt

i was wondering about a posible saito 100 twin in this plane. aprox 29 0z. with no mufflers. i think the plane will take the weight and i think it should still have plenty of power.
not looking for crazy vertical i just thought it would be sweet to have a little twin engine in th skybolt arf. My other engine choices were o.s. .91 or saito .91, 100 or 125 singles. what do you guys think. and mainly, will the saito 100 twin fit in there?
FYI, I have a Saito FA-100T in a SIG Waco SRE that weighs 9.5 lbs. and it is a prefect match for this plane. Half throttle makes for a very scale like preformance and full throttle pulls the plane vertical very well. The Skybolt at about 8.0 to 8.25 lbs. should give the performance that you are looking for and the sound is great. Hope this post isn't too late.
