RE: OS FSa-110 question

Yes please. Can anybody explain how is it possible to breath the crankcase from that hole but not expel oil?

Exploded view in the manual does show anything like diaphragm or anything else.

RE: saito180_vs_os200

I really doubt your 8900 rpms on 10% with Saito 180. Are you sure your tach is OK?

I am running this engine for three years now on 15% nitro and on 18x6 I have never seen more than 8,400 rpms....

RE: OS 120 4 stroke or Saito 120 4 stroke

In fact this 120 Saito was my best Saito experience during its life at least.

I have several other Saitos like 180, 100, 72 and they for sure are inferior.

To give you the picture I have...

RE: Satio 100

Bearings are SKF and bought from an industrial shop.

They are surely of the best in the market.

RE: Satio 100

After replacing the LSN and the spray bar -although brand new- in my Saito 100 I managed to have a decent lean low speed tunning and hence good idling at 2 - 2,200 rpms.

However, I would agree...

RE: Vibration reducing mount for Saito 180?

For me Saito 180 is a very powerfull engine but too light for its power pulses produced in every conbustion stroke. Not even the aftermarket SKF ball bearings can stand the pulses. That is why the...

RE: Vibration reducing mount for Saito 180?

The Dubro mount works fine with the Saito 180 and IMO it is absolutely necessary.

Without it airplane's frame fatigue is very high because of vibrations.
