Would like some ideas for the best engine for the Dave Patrick Extra 330?
Leaning toward a Saito 1.80 at this time.
Thanks

Don't over look the OS 160 FX. I have two saito 180s and the 160 fx and the 160 definatly has a power advantage. Plus they are cheaper too. Just my thoughts, but I am really impressed with the 160!

If you have one of the second run... and you make it as light as possible... the Saito 1.80 could be pretty good. I wanted to put one on the first run and fly 30% heli fuel. But, the first run was just tooooo heavy. Alot of guys, me included, are running 2.4 to 3.2 gassers on them. They would fly alot nicer, though, if they were a few pounds lighter.
