I am about to start on a Dynaflight Decathlon and I was wondering if a Saito 1.80 four stroke would be a good choice. I know it could be flown with a 25- 35cc gasser to add nose weight but I really don't want to go that route. I would like to have scale-like performance with the plane...NO 3D stuff. Thanks , Skip

I think the Saito should do fine, though I have never used one. It is going to spin an 18" prop and that will get you going with authority. True, the Saito will be lighter that a gasser (mine flies with a Quadra 42), but likely you will need the weight anyway.

Have fun!

The Saito will have enough power.

Move everything you can forward so you are not adding much lead.

Will need a 24 oz tank

Enjoy,
