RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

This is how I did it. I used a large servo arm, and bolted it to the engine mount.
Fairly simple, and works great.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I am told that the most efficient propeller would be a one blade, but they are rather difficult to balance ;~)
I currently have one on my Cub, right after it hit the ground!

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

My Cub took a cartwheel, and when I started to repair, I found more damage than I want to deal with. I just ordered an Arrow 40 trainer with the idea of putting my 72 on it. I can't find any info on...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

OK, so then the Saito "Gasoline" engine in the previous post with photos must be a two stroke, or am I missing something here?

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

HDB,
I flew a Goldberg cub with floats for a year on a Saito 50. It had plenty of power, would loop and roll, and do everthing that could be expected. I now have a 72 on that airplane, and it is...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I have been looking at a couple of twin engine aircraft. It is normal for full size aircraft to have counter rotating engines. Is there such a thing for RC aircraft?

RE: [Awaiting Approval]

Thanks for the suggestions.
I decided to just use a servo arm, drill & tap a hole in the side of the mount and set it up as in the photo. Hope it works OK.
