SAITO 82 power of 9 pound hog bipe!
Hello, Would a saito 82 power my sig hog bipe at 9 pounds? Not looking for extreme speed, or extreme flight performace. Just enough engine to have fun with it.
Thanks

RE: SAITO 82 power of 9 pound hog bipe!
I would go for a bit more power in that bipe mainly because of the drag that bipes have. Your going to be working that 82 hard to fly that plane. If your on a tight budget and the 82 is laying around I say use it, but if you've got the money to buy a new motor I would put a 100, 125a or 150 in it. Remember you can always throttle back. In my opinion its better to have too much power then not enough.

I way getting a heavy plane ready to fly and wanted to test props. I used a fish weighing scale on the picnik table to test pull. It worked very well, but crashed the plane twice because it was underpowered for our field. I would try and wave off a landing and it tip stalled in twice. The last one did it in, too bad. I did not have any money in the plane $20, but thats what under powered did to me.
That told me the best pulling power prop, it worked very well.

I had a YS.91 in my Sig Hog bipe and it was more than enough, pulled it along very strong with good vertical climb.
Flew well at 1/2 throttle so the .82 will fly it okay, but if you don't have an engine yet, the .91 will fly it better.
I feel anything more than a .91 is a wast of money unless you are looking for extreme, and you said you were not.

I have a 82 on my Astro Hog, there are days when I
wish I had more power. She's still flying.

RE: SAITO 82 power of 9 pound hog bipe!
Most of the hog bipes I have seen and flown were using the OS .91 FS and it was a great combo. I do question the weight of your plane, that must have been a lot of glassing?? The Saito will fly it though, how well???? Try it and see what you think. I have an old GP Aeromaster that I built and installed a .68 two stroke, I thought the plane was a total dog. Then I stuck a two stroke .91 in it and the plane came alive, there is a big difference between flying the plane and flying it like it was alive. The Hog is a great little airplane but it needs some power to show what it was designed to do.

I don't think your .36 would get my CG Extra off the ground. Please post up how well it does. As built stock to the plans the CG Extra is a bit on the heavy side, one of the reasons it's so smooth in the air. I will argue it's the best flying Extra in it's size though, good luck to you.

The FG36 is comparable to the Saito FA220, thats a whole lotta power for that plane IMO

RE: SAITO 82 power of 9 pound hog bipe!
LargeScale88: I have two Hog Bipes...!! And I love both of them. I also like power and therefore placed a Saito 100 in each plane. I wanted to make sure the plane would do what I wanted it to, when I told it to do something. I think it's a wonderful combination and will probably never change the setup. I run Master Airscrew 13X6 / 13x8 / 14x6 and have even put APC 13x6 and 13x8s on those engines and they are a trip!!
Have you already purchased the Saito 82? If so, as the other guys have said, give it a try. But I think you'll be wanting for more authority in time.
Here are my two love-birds: OK - Sorry, I guess I don't know how to up-load photos. I'll figure it out this morning and send them on in this thread. Mike [8D] [img][/img] [img][/img]

[img][/img][img][/img] OK, I think I have it right now.
Just because both planes are Hog-Bipes and both have the same engine doesn't mean they fly the same. This one (verses the red & white bipe) flys much more agressivly. I believe I'll end up keeping both of them for ever!!
Have fun!!

No noise problem. And I have not ordered the saito 82 yet. Mikie 1: What will the plane do with that saito 100 in terms of "stunts" and "aerobatics"???

RE: SAITO 82 power of 9 pound hog bipe!
At9 lbs she a little heavy , I would use a Saito 1.00 just to save the weight, also the power well come in handy. Are there any places you could lose some weight ? micro servo on the throttle, lite wheels, smaller battery ?

Ive got a micro servo for throttle, dubro lite tread wheels, and lite covering on the wing. So I cant go much lower in weight.

Very nice cover job Mike, . I am about to re-cover one of my planes, how do you do the yellow between the black and red, did you just layer?

Nice looking bipe. How does your saito 100 run?

My Saito 100 runs VERY strong. Actually it is overkill for the Hog bipe, but you can always throttle back. I used the 100 because I just happen to have one at the time. A .91 four stroke is plenty. Your .82 will fly it, but I agree with the others. I think it will be marginal.

I have a Hog Bipe with an OS .91 4-stroker and she flys well. If I had to do it again though, I'd go with the Saito 1.00
