<DIV><SPAN class=340322501-04112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
OS91 lists as 24.3oz turning a 14X10 @8400rpm to a <A
href="mailto:16x6@8300">16x6@8300</A>. You should definetly be under 8
pounds with this motor & the Excelleron. If you pipe it properly it'll turn
a bigger prop than that.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=340322501-04112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I am
using a YS110 in my Explorer & TommyS is also in his Excelleron. Both of us
right at 8 pounds. I'll only speak for my prop but I am turning a 15x10
@8900rpm. The YS110 lists at 24.8oz</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=340322501-04112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
looked up the Saito 150 since I have no experience with the motor. It lists at
30 ounces and turns a 16x8 @8800rpm. I have no doubt the plane can handle it.
That will put you around 8&1/2 pounds. But do you need the power at the
expense of the extra weight.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=340322501-04112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Now
the BIG question is your CG location. With the OS91 if you balance out tail
heavy it might justify the bigger motor(Saito).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=340322501-04112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>Otherwise you might not enjoy the Excelleron/Saito150 combo as much as
the Excelleron/OS91. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=340322501-04112004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>6
ounces (diff in Saito 150 and the OS91) is a lot in a pattern
plane.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to fly this plane this weekend and I
have a OS91FX in the house, so it goes on first.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But would a saito 150 be enough engine for this
model. I would think so at 8.5 pounds. Any comments.
Probably need a perry v30 pump to ensure fuel delivery.</FONT></DIV>
