Does O.S. have a 82 fs on the market, or am I just dreaming? I swear I read something about this.

WOW!!! I think I'll wait a couple years till either the price goes down or I inherit one. Kinda pricy for an 11K RPM engine isn't it? That's the same price as a .91 pumped and more than a 1.20. It looks nice though :)

im guessing this is the os reply to the successful saito 82?

If memory serves you can get a Saito 82 for about 250 and a Saito 125 for 340.00. I have no idea why OS is pricing their 81 so high. I prefer Saito to OS anyway.

[Please don't jump me you OS fans (:-). I have both brands in my planes.]

Donald's Hobby Center always seems to have good prices on engines. He's not always rigid on his prices so don't hesitate to bargain with him.

Thank you for busting my dream.
No way I"ll pay that price. Whats O.S. marketing thinking?? (must be a reason) May-be just greed!!
Looks as if I'll become a " Saito Man".
I'm a little afaired of the tuning and break in peroid of the saito thou.

At break-in I did run approx one gallon thru my Saito 82 but if that's responsible for the smooth running 82 I have now it was worth the time and expense.

I swear that engine starts as soon as I start towards it with the starter (:-). I haven't checked the idle rpm since installed but it certainly seems to be turning over very slowly. I do own a tach so maybe I'll actually use it next time out instead of leaving it on the shelf.
