Randy,

I think Saito 120 should be ok.  Japanese are starting to use a couple of
Saito engines for pattern planes.  Most asian countries have flex exhaust
header like the one we are using (Hatori style).
Also, Saito can run with upto 30% nitro without a problem.  I believe Saito
120 can turn 15x10 or 16x8 without a problem.

I am using 15x8 with my YS 91AC for better torque.  I used to run 14x10.

I like the Saito's. I have used a Saito 72 for 40 size pattern planes since
it came out.  Just sold it to a club member for a 40 size pattern ship, so
he can fly sportsman in my contest on 21/22 Aug 2004.  I think the new 82
will be never better.

I wonder though if the Saito 120 would be enough for a 90 sized ship.  I
like to run a 14X10 in the 90 ships.  Also, lack of  a pump becomes more of
a problem with the larger models.

Anyway, now that Saito has 'modernized' with the 50, 56, 72, 82 and 100; I
wonder if they will update the 120 to 180 range.  Seems to me that the 65.
80 and 91 are no longer need in there lineup.
