Hi there, the saito mount ends just after the carb so there is no way to use the alloy mount, to get the carb in, only if I use a 2 normalplastic separated mounts, or probably machine the alloy one to allow me to move the engine back. saito is 158mm from the back of the mount to the prop hub/cowl line crrc pro just 95mm

About power crrc pro vs saito fg30

Crrc pro 26i

weight 1150 including mount and ignition
power 2.4 ps at 9000
practical rpm 1600-<font color="#ff0000">8000
</font><font color="#000000">prop range 16-8/10 used a, 16/8 on the sukhoi goes fast, but just pulls from hover with a 18-6 goes slower pulls better from hover still to try a 17-7 I have, ground revs 18-6 prop 8400
Done the conrod bearings allready in just 3 hs now using more oil than recommended, the conrod needle bearings is a roller bearing with just 9 very spacedI don't think it will last abusing it.
Very stable, idles for ever, no dead sticks
not easy to start by hand despite priming or using the choke, if you kick the blade against the hub to reach more flick speed it starts after 10 attempts, not possible on the sukhoi for the big cowl, so electric starter allways,and starts in seconds
cosumption Im flying on a 350cc tank and it does nearly 30 mins mixed fly


Saito fg 30

Weight with mount,ignition and exhaust 1480g
practical rpm 1700-9000
prop range 16-8/10 17-6/8 18-6
ground speed on a 17-6 8700 rpm


I think it will be almost the same, but probably more reliable. good looking and better sound and better torque at lower rpm.
is a bit heavier, but at the moment Im using a 2cel lipo regulator for the ignition and two separated 4,8 2500mah packs trough 2 switches separated leads in to separated channels for a level of redundancy, and these batteries are against the firewall, to get the cg rigt and still a notch tail heavy, with the saito I have to move them back and I could get just one 6v battery pack instead th two 4.8s, to compensate for the difference.

Thanks!!
