Default Need help can anyone?

Hey guys,
I have a .60 size F4u Corsair. I am hopeing to install my new sweet beautiful .90 size SAito radial 3 cyclinder. But am a little nervous, I have never played with radials before and Im starting to hear that they are very hard to maintain adn work on. One is this true? Also I am worried about teh weight of this motr on the front of the plane. Am I going to have to install a Weight the size of a brick in the rear? Saito lists this motor as a perfect match for a .60 sized war bird, BUT hanger 9 says nothign about it, and thats makes me wonder? CAn anyone help?

The sweet sound of the radial makes everything else irrelevant

I am running a Saito 170 3 cylinder on my scratch built Waco. I would not trade it for the world!
