RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
Ok guys got a question:
Is there anyway to convert a Saito56 so it will counter rotate the prop? I am planning my build of a twin WWII plane and am checking my options.

$300 is a bit rich for a 30, but I don't think many would be mounted in an airframe. I'm sure a few years down the track the resale value will increase.

I wonder how many people are willing to shell out $300 for that engine? They say only 1000 to be made and they have to be backorderd. I wonder also how rare they will become?

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
I've just become the proud owner of my first Saito engine...a Saito FA-115 that I purchased used. The engine is mounted in a Twist 60 and sounds incredibly powerful.
I can't wait for nicer weather so I can go out and actually fly the thing.
Please consider this my request to join Club Saito...I look forward to owning many more Saito's in the future!

I have a Twist 60 with a Saito 125. I really enjoy it. I ran 12 gallons of fuel through it last summer.
Take off with half throttle. The only time I use full throttle is going straight up.
I run a APC 16-6 prop

I have a Saito 30 fs that needs a new needle valve assembly or a replacement Carb. I snapped the tube off outboard of the fuel nipple in a crash and it is almost an impossible fix. Appreciate any help or ideas. Vic

Well Guys its back. It is a bit tail heavy so thats a problem I will deal with next week. I had to add a bit of epoxy and micro balloons to get the tail back on. She is still a bit under 10 pounds and the target build weight is 9.5 lbs. I hung a 6 oz. pack of weight off the nose and that still did not do it. I have a friend who is a great builder so I will bring it over to his shop and we will decide what to do.

Thanks for the help but it won't fit. Mine has a tube with threads on the out side that thread to the carb body. It broke out board of the the fuel port nipple with the attached needle. Vic

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !
I seriously doubt that will work for it is the cam for the left cylinder on a horizontal opposed twin Saito 100T. It will fit but I'm not so sure about the timing as that cylinder has the intake where you have the exhaust.
The number I gave you was for the rear cylinder on the inline twin 100Ti which runs the other direction on the cylinder with the intake and exhaust where they are now on your engine. But the cam doesn't fit the 56.
You are going to have fun setting the cam timing with the cam you ordered.
The engine will run but I don't think it will run with the same power like your other engine.
