Has any one tried this setup? Should be even lighter than a Ys 110, and from what I gather their power ratings are the same.
I have an os 160 in mine, and I think it may be a wee bit too heavy, the 160 with wrap-around pitts & perry pump come out to 39 oz[&o]
at 24 oz with the saito this should be nice and light.[8D]
Do you guys thnk the 125a would enough to keep the plane in a hover and be 3-d capabale? I kow the 160 is.. but its over 2:1 power to weight and I don't like have any more wing loading the plane already has...
I'm thinking about migrating the os 160 onto a Funtana 90. That plane needs some nose weight and is 1l b heavier then the funtana so it should be just right for it.

OK
One of my buddies flys the Showtime with a new Saito 125. He switched from the FA100 for more vertical power. His engine is still new and in the break-in mode but pulls the Showtime vertical without a problem. Unlimited.
