Saito 100 Ti inline twin cyclinder-questions
Anyone had any experience with this engine-flying buddy wants to try one-just wondered about weight vs power ratio-not sure of the advantages or problems with an inline twin.

Jiom:
Figure the FA-100Ti as the power of the FA-80 single, with twice the weight. It's a shade under 40 ounces, the FA-80 is 19, the FA-82 is down at 16 ounces.
But if he wants the bragging rights and the sweet sound, jump on the FA-100Ti.

RE: Saito 100 Ti inline twin cyclinder-questions
I have a 200Ti. Except for size, the design looks to be about the same as the 100. I haven't seen a 100Ti run yet.
Power for the 200Ti is somewhere between a Saito 150 and 180. But it runs glass-smooth, has an incredibly low reliable idle and it sounds great. Break-in took a good bit of time.
I would guess that a 100Ti would probably fly a 60-size plane "scale". The plane would need to be carefully selected to make sure that the engine would fit in the cowl. And for obvious reasons a plane that tends to build tail-heavy would be better than one that builds nose-heavy.
