RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Thanks for the info, that is a shock. I always hear them talking about OS 4-S but none of them run as well as my Saito; however, I've set the valve clearance on some OS and they run a lot better. ...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

With a stadard prop on both engines
Saito .91 = 12 lbs of thrust
OS .61FX = 7.7 lbs of thrust
Does that sound right?
The guys flying SPA are saying the 4 strokes are not working for them, but...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

W8YE, I think I know what you mean, it might be better for cooling to mount it horizontal in a Cub because of the scale openning locations. I've mounted it inverted in similar planes but ducted the...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I agree, I have a 125, 120 and a 91 mounted inverted and I can't recall ever having a dead stick.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Yep Y8YE, that's what I posted on the previous page but I didn't want to sound like Captain Obvious:D

I'm thinking it's around 7-7.5 lbs with their recommended prop but I may have to experiment...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

It doesn't have power in terms of pounds of thrust.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

If anyone knows if there's a site that shows power to weight ratios of Saitos or something similar please let me know.

Thanks, Tim

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Has anyone posted a link or information on the lbs of thrust on a .91 with the recommended props?
I thought I saw it somewhere but 550+ pages is a lot of info to go through.
Thanks, Tim

Duh! Jim, on the issue of mounting the tank in relation to the carb, I just realized I was thinking of mounting it with regards to air flow instead of fuel flow, that makes scense since the spray...

Thanks Jim and Bill!
Bill, it could be 135 degrees but it could be read so many different ways depending on which religion you're in (math/engineer) but I think you explained it pretty good.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

When mounting the 125 inverted at a 45 degree angle, where (vertically) should the fuel tank be mounted? With the mid-line even with the carb openning at the base of the proposed velocity stack?

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Update and questions...

I now have a 91, two 120s and a 125 :)

The cowl with the 91 is a mess! Check my selections to see if I got it right:
Velocity stack for the 91 and 125?...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

It's fine, this is my first cool weather since I started flying, so tuning must be a little difference.
I just got a Saito 1.20 that has had 2 liters through it, I'm thinking I need to keep it rich...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Ok Bill. I thought about that after I closed my computer, it would be the high end. I'll make it more rich and check the lines while the cowl is off. It's weird that you can tell exactly where it...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Bill this may help too, it runs really great at low end but it's a little harder to start than my 1.20. Once started I let it warm up for about 30 seconds or more and slowly throttle it up. At 85%...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I checked the valves and they are loose but not as loose as the 1.20 was and it never back fired. I tached the high end and thought I had it right but the original owner, who put only 1/2 gallon...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Bill, my Saito 91 is acting up. It was the first engine let alone a 4 stroke that I've had on a long term basis. It has had about 3 gallons of fuel through it. When I was learning to tune it I...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

My gosh Bill, you figured out I'm new just with one post. :D
