TF Skylane with Saito FA-90T?
I posted this on r.m.rc.a and got no response, so I'm bringing it here.
I am just starting to build a Top Flite Skylane, and my intent is to use a Saito FA-90T twin four stroke. I could swear I read someone on the rec.models.rc.air newsgroup talking about doing this very thing, including info on web site about it, but searching every which way on Google has gotten me nothing but a couple of "this should work" postings on the subject. Can anyone point me to this discussion/web site, or am I having yet another delusion? Has anyone done this, who can give me their engine mounting details? And how about FA-90T vs. FA-90TS (single carb version), which fits/works better? TIA

Hi,
I also have this kit though have not started building yet. I was also going to use the OS .91
Did this poke out the side or was it totally enclosed?
Also what weight did yours come in at?
Re the Saito twin, being a .912 and a twin it will have less grunt then say the same size in a single
1.20 twin would be nice, I have an OS 160 twin in a 1/4 scale cub and it just purrs!!!
cheers
Peter

Hello RickVB;
I'm your man...
I have a TF Cessna 182 with a Saito FA90TS mounted in it.
It work great, plenty of power and scale sound...
I can post couple of photos of mounting details if you want... just reply if so...

ROT8, sorry I missed this reply for so long. If you're still out there, yes, please post any photos you have of your setup. As I said, I'm particularly interested in hearing what you think about the single-carb (yours) vs. twin carb (mine) version of this engine in this installation.
