Saito FG-60R3
Starting a new thread for the Saito FG-60R3. Based on the comment below, it looks like this version of the Saito gas radial features the intake plenum and conrod bushing mods which have address the short comings with the FG-33R3 and the FG-84R3.

Craig, no need to apologize, you didn't mis-speak, you just mis-typed. I cannot believe that HH would bring a brand new FG-60R3 to market and sell it for $1199.99 when the FG30R3 is listed at $1229.99. It just sounds too good to be true!!

Hi All.
Speaking as an 'ex' Saito fan (of a couple of decades) you may wish to hold fire with this engine
and see how it performs before spending a rather large sum of money.
It might also be worth reading the numerous threads on the FG series....to see what
you might expect performance wise.
happy landings...

Hi Mark,
I noticed you mentioned the mods. Has it in fact been confirmed that the Ray English mods have been adopted by Saito.
I have a Bates Hawker Tempest that this power plant would be perfect in, but would like to wait until the mods have been confirmed first.
thx
Dave

CRG, is the scheduled arrival of this motor still on track? hope there are no delays like the people who have been waiting for the Evolution 60FI motor. I just ordered the Keleo ring for this motor. really looking forward to getting it. Merry Christmas to me.
