i have a Saito 1.00 and like the goldberg decathalon but im looking at options. Im an advanced flyer and want something different yet overpowerd yet not teeny.. id love a christensen or a pits but my engine is too big for most and too small for otheres wish there were .60 sized pitts in arf form........ enough whining any input from you guys?

Something different? Have you considered a world models midget mustang? Its an incredibly fun airplane.

how about a h9 mustang?- the smaller one of course. they fly well, although they are not built perfectly. but you can search here for lots of info on them.
mine flies very nicely on the saito 100, although i have only flown it 4-5 times.

sorry... notonly do i have a few mustangs i want something that not a lot of people have its mustang world at my field..... no .60 chirtensen eagles or pitts? anyone have a goldberg ultimate or decathalon?

How about the new Great PLanes Lancair ES .......weighs about 9.25 pounds and looks competely different than anything else at the field. 80" wingspan, but it has a higher wingloading. Not too bad for a larger airplane though. Your vertical would not be unlimited, but near the limit of vision. NOT for 3D! though.

How about the Goldberg Ultimate ARF Bipe? I have a Saito 100 on mine.

How about the Vector Flight Extra or Edge? At $149 it doesn't matter a lot of it's a bad choice, and they are really good!

Also, the best 3d'er at our field (truly amazing!) flies a Pizazz with a Saito 100. That'll do anything you want it to!

searchman what prop are you using and hows the vertical???????

markdam,
Believe it or not, I've had my Ultimate completed with the exception of installing the battery and radio for several weeks now. I plan on finishing it this week and hopefully flying it on the weekend. I have two props I am going to test (both recommended for the Saito 11) 15x6 and 14x8. A friend of mine had a Saito 100 on a Joss Stick (bigger and heavier than my 8.3 Lb Ultimate and this Joss Stick would go ballistic using a 15x8 wood prop. So, I am anticipating that my Ultimate will also be fine vertically speaking. I talked to Goldberg Models before selecting the Saito 100 and they told me that would be a good match for their Ultimate. I'll give you a report soon.

I have a Saito 100 in my 60 size GP Extra 300 Kit and it is a great combo!

You want different try the Yellow Aircraft 60 size edge 540t with the flag scheme. A Saito 100 would put your weight under 7lbs. with unlimited vertical.

i wish there was a .60 pitts or cristen eagle out there the closest ive found is an old EZ cristen id build one from scratch but no time...... lol (spelled lazy)
Really love the goldburg decathalon cool dofferent flys well and will do all the aerobatics i want my next ultimate will be a DP .40 so i dont want to get the goldburg ultimate

One of the guys here in the Wichita Club is flying his Saito 100 on an Aeroworks Edge 540T 60/90 ARF. From what I've seen, that looks to be an excellent airplane/engine combination. RC Report a month or so ago did a couple reviews of the Aeroworks Edge 60/90, that might provide you some additional info.

Kevin3D,
Have you flown any of the other Yellow Aircraft .60 sized planes? I am in the same boat, I am looking for a home for my Saito 100 as well. I was looking towards the Yellow Aircraft .60 sized Suhoi instead. Have you flown it?

World Models Chipmunk.
Perfect match in every way.

Hey,
I would at my top recommendation go with the GP Space Walker.
Read my Thread on it.

I'd have to say the Goldberg Super Chipmunk, mine has an OS 91 FS, and talk about flyin'!!! That Saito 100 would be a great choice!

I only say the Goldberg, because that's the one I have.

No pigman i haven't flown it but i would love to have one. It is built like the other new YA kits with the air foil tail feathers. Get one man is all i can say. I own the 60 size edge and a friend owns the 60 size extra his has a saito 100 and mine has a ys 91. I cant describe how these kits look when there complete they are just so shiny and the canopy fits tight and is tented already. landing gear comes pre painted. They even look better then the Dave Patrick edge i just finished.

I really like the looks of the Sukhoi, so I am going to have to get it!

Allan

any updates or other suggestions in here?

well i didn't end up going with the sukoi. I am going to put my Saito 100 in the Hangar 9 Corsair.

Is that the 60 size Corsair with retracts?

Good choice!!

Ken

Im still looking hard at the Goldberg Decathlon

I like that eram of planes, I think there is a 60 sized Stearman, that Gp or Kyosho puts out. It's a sweet looking plane or a 60 sized Waco bipe. Or, you could rat hole the Saito 100 and get a 120 and get the century jet 120 sized Pitts. Have fun!!!!!

Will

have a 1/3 scale pitts!!! shes a beaut.... g62, 24X10 prop, 68" span.....I think its a Toni Clark from europe!!!
