G'day Saito lovers.
I have a Hanger 9 Sopwith Camel. It is yet to fly and currently has a new Saito 82 in it but I am considering pulling it out and putting a Saito 90R3 in it. I am not interested in vertical performance, just nice scale noises and docile flight. I have seen a video of one and it seems to be quite a reasonable thing to do but another thread has a number of comments saying the little three cylinder is simply not powerful enough.
What prop would the 90R3 swing? And what do people think of this idea. If I do this, I am thinking of putting the 82 into a H9 Piper Pawnee.
Here's a link to an article by someone who installed the Saito radial in th H9 Sopwith Camel. Sounds like a great combination. I've got one of these little jewels still in the box waiting for the right airplane to come along.

Good luck!
