I live in hot humid weather (all year around 33C, relative humidity 90%).
Money is not an object. The weight and engine’s versatility for future projects are.
If someone has above mentioned engines weight obtained by digital scales (not from Horizon specification sheets) I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Mine has a Saito 91 in it - it's a hoot! The 82 would be perfect, but I had a 91 laying around....

I have a Saito 82 in my SE... I love it. It has huge power. I just wish I had the ability to fly it well. . I am learning and am trying to take it easy with it. I do not want it DOA before I get some use out of it!

I don't think he is kidding. I have Saito 91 myself - it is 50 g more then 72 and you can run it with 12X6 prop without a problem. But 91 is on another plane. So, 82 weight is not an issue at all, even if it is 100g more on the SE nose , then with 56?

The 91 weighs about the same as a 65, and lots of folks end up with 4-8 ozs of lead up front. Besides, I only paid $40 for the plane, built with two servos and a switch!
