Fliton Inspire 60 engine question, real quick
Came into a Saito 100. The weight is very similar to the Saito 82 which so many people are fond of for this airplane. This 100 is in nearly new condition. Will it be too much up front for this airplane and should I trade it for an 82, or will I be okay? I have never flown an Inspire before, and I purchased it used. It originally was powered by a 2 stroke.
If this 100 will be good for the plane, where should the CG be, I have no instructions what so ever.
Thanks

The 100 is to heavy for the plane, I had a YS63 in mine and I had to mount the battery way back to get it to balance. I tried a YS 91 and it would have taken lead in the tail to balance not to mention the 91 shook it really bad. If I remember correctly the CG was 120mm back from the leading edge at the root.

Okay good deal thanks for the heads up. Anyone else who reads this, and has a YS 63 or Saito 82, I'll trade you for this Saito 100 in excellent condition.

Excellent! Stop by Monmouth if you're in town early enough, 7a-1030a we're having our Monmouth Flying Club fly-in breakfast (Fullscale) It's a great time! May have some R/C's on display.

I fly at three different fullscale airports. The one I mainly use is Tri County Airport, which is about a 20 minute drive from Galesburg, it's a grass strip we in our club rent a hangar to use the field. Large grass runway. Here's the link for mapquest directions to the field. http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=UTF-8...ed=0CBMQ8gEwAA
