Any suggestions to give this little Saito a good home?

They're great for small Cubs, such as the one from World Models.

Sig LT-25
H-9 Ultra Stick 25E
Global Tequila Sunrise

I've got a new Saito .30 waiting to be installed in a Super Sportster EP when I actually get around to assembling her.

Ok, I've got one too and wondering about a kit for it. What about a Sig Wonder and a .30?

I have a Magnum .30 that I put on a Global T6, haven't flown it yet. I don't think the Saito .30 weighs much less so I think it is too heavy for a Sig Wonder. It has about the power of a .20 two stroke, say maybe a plain bearing run of the mill .20. As such it may be a bit small for a Talercraft .25, Sig LT .25, Ultra Stick .25, and the Tequla Sunrise. Maybe with a lot of nitro? It will fly them but not as well as a plain vanilla two stroke .25

I have one on a GP Taylorcraft, flies it just fine. Also look at the GeeBee Tigermoth. It would be a bad match with a sig wonder. A light .20 is a good engine for that airframe.

Hello; Goldberg Freedom, Sig senorita, GP Speortster 20, Biplanes, I have my Saito 30 in a Pixie Bipe. I have a 26 sized Utimate and a 25 sized Extra that would work well. Another possibility id a 25 sized Decathlon. I guess it depends on what kind of flying you want to do. I'm very happy with the Pixie bipe, but I know that some guys at our field would find it too slow for them.

Ok, thanks. Back to looking for something for it.....

There really not that good of an engine, I could do you a favor and take it off your hands so you wouldn't be troubled by it. But if you dead set to try it anything that takes a .25 two stroke will fly well with it.

C, I like my first one so much I grabbed the a second one when I heard Horizon decided we didn't need them any more.

From what I understand the Saito .30 is the same or slightly more powerfull than a Magnum .30. If so its not near the power of a .25 two stroke. Closer to a .20 two stroke. So it will work on those models only if you enjoy flying them with somewhat less power.

They turn a Graupner 10.5x5 at 10,100.

As I recall the Magnum would turn a MA 10 x 5 about that speed, so I suspect they are about the same power.

Pacific aero models tiger moth magnum 30 4 strk 11x4 flys very scale like, the Hobby lobby moth is the identical plane set up for electric martin

Sure, Dave, glad to do you a favor, anytime...[>:]

I just recalled that Polk Hobbies has a Fokker DR-1 that should be just right for this engine.

I just posted a link to it in another thread asking the same question.

You are absolutely right. In fact, an old OS .20FP two-stroke with kick its butt, and all of the other .30 four-strokes, pretty bad. Yet, they have their appeal.

Any of the planes made for a two-stroke .15 by CMP as sold by AK Models and Nitro Models. CAP/Extra anyone?

I bought the little .15 two-stroke designed Extra from AK Models a while back. That is one neat looking little model. Now to break out the Futaba FAAST 2.4 GHz and get the installation going. I'm tempted to fly it with a two-stroke .15 first and then later switch to one of my OS FS-30 four-strokes - assuming it lasts that long. If it doesn't, they sell more.
