I am considering a Shoestring...I want High Performance...So I am wanting a suggestion on a motor...

Saito 91??

Saito 100??

OS 91 Surpass??


Other 90 size 4 stroke??...Im new to the 4 strokes

Thanks

:

I have two of them-one has a .61 supertigre and it flies well and I thought it was pretty quick-my new one I installed a OS 91fx and it is a lot quicker but it flies very well with either one.-I have toyed with the idea of installing my 120 fourstroke in it-that would probaly be alot of fun as well-I have notice a quite of few post on this airplane lately.

I have one with a OS91 fx in it ,it move's out good , so I bought a second along with a YS110FZ.... this on really cook's ...If I were wanting all out speed and a four stoke then go with the 110....JW

CD,

I have the Saito 100 in mine, so that's what I would reccomend. I'm turning a 13X10 APC prop which makes this baby go palces some kinda fast! Currently holds the prop plane speed record at our airfield at 128 MPH. Other than it's an awesome engine, that's pretty much all I can tell you. As far as the Shoestring, get ready because you're gonna get hooked. It' has to be one of the best flying planes I own. It is indeed a racer, but it flies like it's on a rail, a lot like a pattern plane. You get speed and precision out of one airplane, what more can a speed freak ask for?

The YS110FZ has far more power then the saito 100 ....the 110 running a APC13.5x12.5 is a good combo or you can turn a APC 14x14n with no problem's ....when the need to go all out is what you want.....TRY the saito then the YS110fz and you will see the difference.....or post the question on the board ....JW

Hi Guys,

Is there any way to install a rear exhaust two stroke w/pipe, inverted, in this model?

I wouldn't mind some surgery to the fuse but don't want to have to do a major rebuild.

What do you think??

Iv'e never tried ...But i'm sure it could be done.....JW

Jim,

I don't see that happening. The thrust line on this plane is pretty high. If you were to mount a rear exhaust engine on this plane, the pipe would run half way through the tank area. You would also encouter the landing gear, which is mounted inside the fuselage. I'm not saying that it can't be done, but it would, IMHO, be a large undertaking and not really worth the effort.

After going out to the shop and looking it over ,I must agree,With yard dart it could be done but not worth the work.....JW

To yard-dart & autoguns,
Thanks for the info. I'm looking for a home for an extra Thunder Tiger 120 rear exhaust w/pump--may wind up drawing up something on my own. Any suggestions??

I wound up with a Saito 100...It looks nice, I hope it is good enough,lol...Plane will be here on thursday, hee hee
