Which engine for Ultra Stick Lite
I have a brand new Ultra Stick Lite waiting for me over there in corner. I want opinions on which engine to buy for it. I think I want to keep the price down to "NO MORE" than the normal street price for a SAITO 180. I want to consider 2 stroke and 4 stroke glow, and gas. What are some of your preferences, and why. Thank You very much for your time.

RE: Which engine for Ultra Stick Lite
OK OK Dave you caught me straying. But I do like a good Saito 180, or maybe a OS 160. Hmmmmmmm I haven't considered a Homei 33 with C@H.
And anyway.................What are you doing here?

Long thread on this plane with various gas engines here:

There are a couple at my field now (including mine) with the mvvs 26cc gas engine. Lots of fun!

RE: Which engine for Ultra Stick Lite
Well I went to the "long thread on this plane with several gas engines" that Dave mentioned above. Six pages of dribble and "this thing is gona be sweet" talk. Not one mention of a tack reading. G26s MVVS 26 Brison 2.4 even a FPE 2.4.and not one mention of a tack reading. Although there was one RPM related thought. "This thing runs AWESOME dude" I guess this is some kind of code for prop size and RPM. I guess it is just a different world out there in the realm of manufactured gas model airplane engines, where the particpants don't need or use tacks. I come from the world of glow and conversions were we freguently use tacks and share the readings. So good bye world of manufactured gas model airplane engines. I am going back to my glowing world of Saito 180s and conversions. I really didn't think I wanted to be here anyway. BTW 5 days ago I lower back surgery done. Two disc. removed and the whole mess fused with a lot of really trick looking hardware. Looked like something DuDro might have built. Right now I am going to have 2 more of those wonderful little pills I came home with. Got to keep the glow going.
YA'LL HAVE GOOD FUN NOW.
Thanks for help

RE: Which engine for Ultra Stick Lite
Enjoy the glow! I am happy with the G-26 on my USL.
For a whopping $2.00 a gallon and a few extra pennies for oil, I get 9000 RPM on an 18x6W APC prop.
Readings were taken with an aftermarket muffler from www.wackerengines.com , premium gas, synthetic oil.
All servos moved to tail, tank on CG, battery (4x2400mah) moved to tail - no other weight added.
