Hi Arch: I fly an older saito 120 with the venus II. I fly the whole routine at half throttle. Its a blast to fly. I had been looking at the focus sport. I have made some calls to buy in bulk but no luck yet. I have been using omega pink 15 %. I appreciate the advice.
Oh yeah master tech I drive a ford focus 35 mpg paid $6500.00 in 2004, the car is a 2003 with a 120,000 miles on it.
Yeller champ,
You might want to consider a gassie from BME engines. They have an ST 90 conversion to gasoline that looks very interesting. The crankshaft is new for gas and bearings are actually changed to allow low oil use (3% oil in gas in fairly typical). It's a little pricey at 400$ but weight is very manageable at 26ozs plus the ignition box and battery (another 7 ozs or so, but most of this weight would be offset by the reduced amount of fuel you'd carry). Should be able to use a pipe on the engine and it should be at least the equal to the Saito 120 in terms of output.
If I had a smaller model, that's the way I would go. Running 15 minutes on 6 ozs of gas sounds pretty reasonable to me
