It depends on how the needles are set, how they are propped, and how you fly

The Saito and OS run about the same, both power output and fuel use. I haven't noticed a nickles worth of difference between the OS .91 and the Saito 100. The Saitos seem to leave behind more engine snot but that may be me just having the saito a bit fat?? Could also just be how I have the muffler pointed?? Both very good engines.

It would be to fly pattern with a showtime 50, I'll guess it's gonna be a 14X8 APC prop or 13 X 9

Hi Bigedmustafa
I have the .52 RFS and did the break-in as per the manual. I now have a little over half gal of 10% nitro 20% all Castor fuel through it.
It starts right up but can't get a slow idle. The best I get is 2700 rpm. I tried a Hanger 9 plug and an HP 4stroke plug. How does yours idle? Thanks Rich

What do you have for a prop?

I think I may have run it to rich on the brake-in and it didn't get the varnish in the sleeve that it needs.I'll try some more run-in on the ground before I risk my Cox G-202. It's to nice of a plane to crash right off the bat.
