Tiger 60
 

I have a Saito 91 FS that I would like to put in a Tiger 60. Several older members of my club, with much more experience, have indicated that they thought it was to much engine for the plane and suggested a 70 size FS. The plane is rated up to a 80 size four stroke. I'm not into 3D and am looking at for a basic plane with some acrobatic capabilities. Thanks in advance for any advice.

use the 91 the guys that told you that are 99% chance they fly 10 pound cubs on os 40 fs's :D its a big plane needs a big engine i think i got a tower 75 in mine

I agree with prophanger. I flew one of our club member's Tiger 60s with a .90 4-stroke and it was perfect. I liked it so much I'm thinking of putting one together this winter for my daughter. Well, OK, for me.

I flew my brand new Tiger 60 with a Saito 91 for
the first time this weekend. It was fantastic !

[8D]I have an os 91fs II surpass four stroke in mine, its set up as a taildragger. It flies great, not overpowered at all. It takes off in about 10feet. I can cruise at half throttle all day long. it sounds good, runs good, is fairly areobatic. It balanced great with the four stroke also. put it in and enjoy it!!:D Butch in Niagara Falls

What size fuel tanks are you using with those big motors? That for what I know they like to eat fuel. And there isn't a whole lot of room in the tiger 60 for a big tank.

A 91 running at reduced throttle settings will use less fuel and make a whole lot less noise than a 70 running at full throttle. If you can learn throttle control, the ONLY reason NOT to use a bigger engine would be extra weight.

In your case though, a 91 four stroke weighs less than the 61 two stroke that the Tiger 60 was designed for. Putting a 70 in that airplane would be a decision you would surely regret.

I put a Saito FA-100 in mine and it is great! I squeezed a 14 oz tank in and am currently getting 9 minute flights, although I have less than 2 gallons of fuel through it, and am still running very rich.
