For the old car fans here's a 34 chev i prepped and painted three years ago,it just won best standard paint at the perth hotrod show held here a couple of weekends ago at claremont showgrounds.The woodgrain parts i did ages ago for a retro t bucket..maybe i should dig that useless 125 up and woodgrain that with a matching 16x6 prop.OR..i might paint it green and bury that sucker again!

Just find someone you don't like, and give them half your stuff.

There never was a non (S) .91, an early box and a late box. It was always the 91S

Another of the tricky Saito "things" is the high cam series, that was a real change, I think that w8ye could explain when that happened better than anyone, if he would pop in here. It's probably somewhere in Bill Robison's Notes also, it might take a while to find it though. It's surprising that neither Clarence Lee nor Mr. Chinn mention it.

that's what it was !!!!! "high cam series"

Hobbsy, so are you saying it was just a ploy to sell more engines ""

Sorry for the confusion, the "High Cam Series" was a real change, even the cam housings for the early cams will not fit over the high cams. The high cam engines were substantially more powerful than the their predecessors.

I like different and it's different to a point, so I am now looking at the Saito 21 Gas engine (125),

I'm just wondering if these Gasser Saito's burn all the oil at 16/1 and 20/1, I would think not,, any one know ???

thanks !!
Jim

Jim you change your mind faster than any woman i've known an underpowered gas 125 for a tightly cowled mustang?? if i remember right.Now,a dark cloud has appeared on my motorcycle riding horizon.I'm being teased at work by a strong rumour that harley davidson is trying to buy ducati..can you believe that??? does this mean we will have the fastest bad bum bikies now or a ducati badged harley full dresser that weighs a ton does'nt handle and not enough grunt to pull the satin bedsheet off the missus when you feel frisky?...not to mention they got bad brakes too,harley riders hate them

Jim, I have the FG 11, it does not burn all the oil at 20 to 1. I use Mercury Outboard synthetic, it's made for 2 or 4 strokes.

The 1.26 gas turns an APC 16x6 at 8,800 and that's not bad.

Rudolph Hart

Oh shoot jim don't use mercury outboard oil mate,next thing you know you;ll be out fishin

Captcrunch44

I have been around the car, boat, full size planes and model planes.my whole life. Now i ask you, does it really matter what oil you use to operate anything. As long as it's per manufacturers specifications.
I only ask this because i run boat moter oil in my gas planes too.

Saito FG 11
Prop===Xoar 13x6
Fuel===Gulf Gasoline, 89 octane ethanol free/Mercury Marine two stroke full synthetic compatible with water or air cooling@ 20 to 1.
Stock FG 11 Ignition=RCXL
95 minutes total run time, I ran the tank 1" lower than the first run, there was no difference in the running.

Max rpm stock muffler== 9,155
Max rpm Turbo Header==9,293
RPM with both=2,150

High Speed needle is sensitive one click lean with stock muffler =9,100
One click lean with TH==9,240

The TH has that same deep throb as the glow engines.

That's it, it's a keeper.

Here are my FG 11 numbers, they're pretty good.

Pete, these engines were painted by a gent named KMOT, I keep these pictures just to look at them now and then. I'll bet you could paint up some beauties too.

Told ya the FG-11 is a good little one. I just found it to be too heavy for the T-Clips, it flies it well, but think it is hurting it's performance, now I have to find a plane to put it in that I can enjoy putting around for an hour. If the 56 that I put in the Clips doesn't cut it though, the 11 will be put back in it. I just need a muffler for the 56 so I can find out.

I like the sight of those cylinders ( on the bike ) . I wish some manufacturers would make some old school looking engines instead of the sharp angular lines of some . Gee that mew is going along as fast as mine . I think we have had ours about the same length of time . I got a OS ax120 for mine but still might put a gasser in mine . I tried to sell the 120 ( no muffler ) n.i.b. once and couldnt get $150 Aus for it . Decided I would sooner smash it with a hammer then accept that .

I have said before, I would like to see a "Flat Head" RC plane engine, it would be cool


yes sir, and that's my prerogative LOL ,,
I have not changed my mind, it's just that I'm still looking, but I got thinking that my P-40 doesn't have the cooling for a 4St Gasser anyway
