Default RE: Which 4 stroke trwin

ORIGINAL: Cajuncharley

I have been flying a Satio 300 Twin with the single carb for about 2 years, and this engine is the best kept secret in R/C. It is powerful and reliable. I use the McDaniel on board glow, and I have not had a dead stick in over a year (except when I ran out of fuel). For real performance, use 25% to 30% nitro. I have it on a 13.5 pound generic model, similar to a Roadrunner, and it has unlimited vertical. As far as ease of handling, except for adding after run oil after flying, it ranks with any two stroke engine. I have not had to touch the needle valve in months.
Hi CajunCharley:

I'm replying to your message more than 7 years after you posted it. Hope you're still around!

I'm thinking of getting the 300T with the single carb. I've got a 17 lb plane. Some reviews say that this engine can turn a 22x8 prop at 7600 RPM, which is sufficient to pull a 17 lb plane. Have you tried a 22x8 or similar sized prop on this engine? Please advise on it's performance.

Also, have there been any design updates on this engine since it was first released, or is today's engine the same thing as it was years back?

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Atul
