4 star .60 -- Saito 100
 

Well I have this 4 * .60 and an extra Saito 100 (due to a dumb thumb situtation), anyway I got it fited in there but is it too much motor???

No! just use the throttle with care. It will fly awesome!

Too much horsepower is Just right !!!!!! Aughta fly like a banshee!!! You'll have the prime example of "throttle managment necesary."

You certainly won't have to worry about long takeoff runs!:D

RE: 4 star .60 -- Saito 100
 

Geesh, I wonder if he will have unlimited verticle with this setup? Duh !!! It would be interesting if he could check the top speed. I'd bet on 100mph+-- I think the motor might outrun the rest of the plane!!! Ha! Do you think he can idle the motor low enough to land it??? I'd like to see it fly!!

RE: 4 star .60 -- Saito 100
 

Oh damn that much overpowered???

Guess I will find out where the wings will fold up in half!!!

Was gonna put a 16x4 prop on it, if I have the ground clearance Ill put a 17x4 on it..

Let ya know how it goes and if I stuff it first flight!

I have a 91TT 4c on mine 4*60 running 30%nitro.....she will move. The only thing I had to add was around 2% right thrust to keep the up lines straight without using to much rudder. The 100 will have a little more left pull than I have for sure.

17 x 4 might be a big too much prop for Sation 100, even the 16 x 4 really a 3d Prop, its not by any means a 3D plane, but a good sport plane. I'd go with something like a APC 15x6. Good sport prop.

RE: 4 star .60 -- Saito 100
 

I had this exact combination and it was great. It wasn't overpowered and did not have unlimited vertical (but very good vertical).

What prop did you use??? 15x6?

RE: 4 star .60 -- Saito 100
 

I think I ended up with a 15 x 6. I may have also tried a 14 x 8, but as you know speed isn't necessarily the point of the Four * 60.

RE: 4 star .60 -- Saito 100
 

I've run several Saito 100's and Personally have had good luck with a 14x7 APC prop

Hadn't though about it till now. Does your altitude compared to Florida affect things like , verticle performance & some 3D manuveres.-- I know it affects motors somewhat. I was just wondering.

RE: 4 star .60 -- Saito 100
 

I fly at ~ 5,000 feet so that was a factor. The altitude affects engine and airfoil (prop) performance. I should have pointed that out. At sea level you can expect better performance.

RE: 4 star .60 -- Saito 100
 

I don't know where, but I heard that altitude affects overall performance .I was curious. We stay in Florida for the winters, & live in North-central Indiana in the summer. I really can't tell much if any difference between the 2. The airfield down here has a swamp at each end & our field up North has stinking 10ft. high corn on 3 sides. As long as you don't get dumb thumbs it don't matter !!!
