Saito 100 twin in a goldberg chipmonk
Hello; I have a wonderful goldberg chippy, in RCAF colours. It had a Saito 80 in it, worked great.
I also have a NIB Saito 100 twin that I bought for a GB Suhkoi, but won't be big enough for, that I would like to use.
Has anyone seen this combination before? Any Ideas?

At 29 ounces for the Twin 100 you'll be adding a good bit of weight to your plane. Although I don't know from experience, I imagine you'd be disappointed with the twin in a Chipmunk. I've heard the Saito 100T performs about like a .72. I've got one of 'em too and I think it will end up in Cub. Just my thoughts...........How about it out there? Any experienced twin cylinder guys watching this?

RE: Saito 100 twin in a goldberg chipmonk
I used one of the Saito 100 twins about 10 years back in an Altech Pilatus Porter. It was an ok but unremarkable powerplant, not too powerful and not as smooth as the OS FT120. I replaced it with a OS 90 fourstroke single which was substantially more powerful.
Think that it would be great in a Cub but a disapointment in a Chipmunk.
I regularly fly a OS FT160 in a H-9 CAP232 and find it is a great sport aerobatic ship with a great exhaust note coming from those twin pipes.
