[@RCPLANEVIDEOS]

Thanks, but what do you mean by Baffled?

[@5lexicon]

engine close off around the cylinders for airflow over the the engine?. or just the cowling on?. thanks@@RCPLANEVIDEOS

[@RCPLANEVIDEOS]

@@5lexicon here the engine is still installed normally without cooling. But later this cooling plate around the engine was added 👍

many thanks 👍

Very nice flying - thanks for sharing! I am building the same plane with a UMS 7-90 engine. The weight of Your Saito and mine UMS is approx the same. Can You tell me if the CG is OK with Your engine, or if You had to add weight or do any modifications?

[@RCPLANEVIDEOS]

Thank you - he has no weight built in front for the CG

Great idea, The more pots the better.

[@brianroberts5062]

How much room is there between the engine and the cowl? I'm deciding what size engine to fit in mine. It's still being shipped. I have a few options but was wondering if there is 5mm extra radius to fit my UMS 115cc 9 Cylinder. Its 260mm diameter, the Saito 90 R3 is 250mm. And weight is 3.493kg to the Saito 3.568kg (including Pipe and Ignition) so the UMS is about 300 grams heavier. Expect it would be a bit overpowered, but would sure sound good. :)

is the Waco out of the box or u have do some reinforcements. It looks like the motor is perfect for that beauty. Whats is the weight?

[@RCPLANEVIDEOS]

the Waco is so out of the box, the kit is very good !!! You do not have to change or improve anything. Engine fits perfectly with this model 👍 14kg is the weight

[@maikrotex]

@@RCPLANEVIDEOS thanks for the infos:)hope this fits better in my Audi A6 as the cub from hangar9.)

FG60R3 power enough to plane? I'll to mount the fg90r3. I want to know your opinion.

[@RCPLANEVIDEOS]

as you can see it flies quite well with the 90 Saito ;-)

[@mitchilito99]

For those that still might want to know, mine has a FG60 r3 in it and it's just my opinion but it's the best possible motor for this particular model. Plenty of power, scale-like flying and almost 3 pounds lighter than the FG90. No weight needed for PERFECT CG Balance.
