At the heart of this advancement are an ultra-lightweight muffler and a specially designed control line venturi system which, with simple inserts, allows modelers to adjust the venturi size to suit their particular application. Now you can purchase a brand new engine with the CL venturi already installed—no more relying on others to convert your engine for you.

And, like all Saito engines, these powerhouses are engineered with that same Saito quality and reliability you’ve come to know and trust.

Zenoah GT-80 Twin Cylinder (4.88 cu in)

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:25:49 GMT

Zenoah GT-80 Twin Cylinder (4.88 cu in). Model ZENE80T.

Zenoah power, reliability, and economical gas-fuel operation for your giant scale plane.

Product Features

4.88 cubic inches of power in a smooth running twin
Ball bearing-supported crankshaft
One-piece chromed cylinders
CDI ignition system
Delivers a whopping 6 horsepower to drive a 24x10 APC at 7500 rpm

Overview

The 80 features an increased bore diameter, increasing displacement to 80cc’s and boosting horsepower to 5.5. Dual rings on each piston give a superior seal, while the self-contained Quartz ignition gives a reliable spark without the hassles of charging ignition batteries. Starting’s a breeze with the rear-mounted spring starter, just wind the prop clockwise one turn then release. And this simultaneous firing twin runs so silky smooth from idle to full power, you can forget about vibration- related airframe and electronic problems.

A number of GT-80s have been used in giant scale aerobatic airplanes for IMAC-aerobatic competitions over the past year. Greg Hahn even used the GT-80 in winning the 1999 Scale Masters. One of the biggest advantages that the GT80 offers is its ability to turn larger-than-normal props. Greg used a scale three-bladed, custom- made 24 x 10 on his Dauntless to win the Scale Masters. Aerobatic flyers regularly use up to a 24 x 10 Bolly prop on their models. The 24 x 10 turns 7700 rpm hovers and torque rolls a 26-pound aerobatic airplane at just over 1/2 throttle.

Like every Zenoah, you’ll get all this power along with reliability and low-cost, gas-fuel operation. Three year warranty, too. So if you’re looking for a top-notch twin for your Extra 330L, or another giant-scale project you’ve got on the bench, check out Zenoah’s GT-80.

Includes custom engine mount

Overview

Nobody builds a better 4-stroke than Saito. A specialized producer of 4-strokes for several decades now, Saito knows exactly what it takes to produce flying enjoyment. Hallmarks of a top-quality Saito engine include an outstanding power-to-weight ratio; astounding one-piece cylinder head system that ensures it can't possibly leak (unlike other manufacturers' two-piece systems); beautiful, precision craftsmanship; and a full 3-year warranty. Another recognizable trait of a Saito is its unmistakable 4-stroke sound: the second you fire one up, you'll be treated to that realistic "phutta-phutta" that only a 4-stroke can offer.

Now you can get these exacting features in the first of a long line of new Saito in-line twin engines - the FA-200Ti. This radical new "big twin" is perfect for scale warbirds, since its inline design allows it to fit into a narrower fuselage. The twin-cylinder design provides that oh-so-sweet unique sound typical of Saitos, and at 2.0 cubic inches, it possesses just the right "oomph" for 1.20-size aircraft.

Saito's competitors may dismiss these exacting features as "too troublesome" or "too expensive," but they're always standard on Saito engines. Discover the spirit of Saito and their whopping new FA-200Ti 4-stroke engine.

Product Features

Baked on, gloss-black finish with shiny gold valve covers
Turns a 16x8 prop at 9,600 rpm on 15% fuel
Will fit into most 1.20–1.50 size airplanes
AAC construction for lighter weight and increased longevity

Overview

Saito's FA-180 engine is fast becoming the pilots choice for powering 1.20 size airplanes. The FA-180 offers a 20% displacement increase over the popular Saito FA-150. What does this mean? How about a 8% power increase over the FA-150 and an awesome 14% power increase over the FA-120. And what’s more the FA-180 fits in the 1.20 size mount. So if your old 1.20 just doesn’t have what it takes, replacing it with the Saito FA-180 is no problem. Simply put the FA-180 is the most powerful in its class.

”With the 180 we could hover the 13-3/8 pound Stick at just under half throttle then, punching to full, the Stick would blast off like a rocket and accelerate to approximately 50 mph straight up in just a few short seconds! We could do multiple vertical snaps with the Cap, then pull out on the vertical up-line and accelerate straight up.”

J. Adams
Horizon R&D Department

Saito’s 1.8 cu. in. four-stroke, the FA-180, is based on their popular and powerful FA-150. The new FA-180 is the largest displacement four-stroke single that will fit popular 1.20 size aircraft. The FA-180 has the same mounting dimensions and mounting hole-to-prop washer length as their 1.20 and 1.50 with only the head and valve covers being slightly raised an additional 2mm, so it will mount right in most 1.20 size airplane applications. At 31 ounces, the total weight of the 180 is just an ounce more than Saito’s 150 with mufflers.

To achieve the additional 20% displacement, Saito has increased both the stroke 1mm (to 28.6mms) and the bore 2mm (to 36mm) over the 1.50. To feed this overgrown giant, the carb bore has been increased to 12mm and the internal openings in the exhaust have been enlarged considerably for freer breathing. And, like other Saito engines, the 180 is available in the standard natural finish or as a GK (Golden Knight) version with a high gloss black case and gold valve covers.

On the bench we were anxious to test the FA-180 and compare it to the many Saito 150s that we had been flying. On 15% fuel with an APC 16x8 prop we recorded a 500 rpm increase with the 180 over the 150, with the 180 peaking out at 9,400 rpms.

For performance models, our staff has been using 30% helicopter fuel in the larger four-strokes for years, and we’ve found many pilots around the country who do the same. The engines run great on this fuel with no overheating issues, plus the power gain is significant. In flight, this fuel runs great and is easy to tune, giving a good transition. On 30% heli fuel, the Saito 180 turns the APC 16x8 prop at 9800 rpms — that’s 400 rpms more than with the 15% fuel.

The 180 is proving itself to be a reliable performer and easy starter. And, unlike many other four-strokes, it doesn’t seem to be too critical of the choice of plugs. We’ve tested Hangar 9’s four-stroke plug, K&B’s four-stroke plug and O.S. F plugs, and we couldn’t tell the difference in idle, transition or top- end performance.

We did notice the 180 is a bit more thirsty — it consumed the 16 oz. tank in just 9 minutes at high throttle settings. If you want to fly longer, a bigger tank is advised.

It will work with anything from .90 size sport aerobats all the way up to 1.20 size sport and IMAC planes. As with most Saito engines, the FA-125A is available in a stunning Golden Knight version with a gloss black finish and gold plated valve covers.
With 10 fewer ounces and .05 more cubic inches than the FA-120 it replaces, the FA-125A gives new meaning to the term “escape velocity”. Just bolt one to the nose of Hangar 9’s Showtime 90 and you’ll see what we mean.

Same mounting dimensions as O.S. 91 Surpass
Baked on, gloss-black finish and shiny gold valve covers.
1.00-size in a .91-size case.

Overview

The FA-91 is one of the most popular selling engines in Saito's extensive line of four-strokes. The .91 fits perfectly into most airplanes designed for .60-size two-strokes offering the ability to swing larger diameter props with more thrust than the two-stroke. Many pilots simply prefer the powerful sound of a four-stroke. Now Saito™ is offering a new engine that offers even more power than the .91 but that's similar in size and weight.

The FA-100 will turn an APC 14 x 8 prop 300 to 700 rpm more than either the Saito .91 or O.S. .91. At only 19.2 ounces (less muffler), it weighs nearly 2 ounces less than the O.S as well! The Saito FA-100 is not just a punched out .91. It features a newly tooled case that shares the mounting dimensions of the O.S. 91. This allows it to be used with the many after-market engine mounts already available to fit this engine.

The Saito 100 idled and transitioned beautifully from the first start due to the included new Hangar 9™ Super Plug (HAN3011) that now comes with all Saito engines. This plug greatly improves idle and transition in all four-stroke engines. After a short slightly rich break-in, we peaked the needles at 3-5/8" out on the high-speed and a ¼ turn in from flush on the low-speed needle.

Our staff commonly uses 30% heli fuel in Saito engines, as it not only gives better top-end performance but it runs smoother, gives a better transition, and runs cooler.

If you're looking for a powerful lightweight four-stroke to power your latest .60 through .90-size project, you don't have to settle on a 91. Check out Saito's new FA-100.

Our staff commonly uses 30% heli fuel in Saito engines, as it not only gives better top-end performance but it runs smoother, gives a better transition, and runs cooler.

In flight the FA-100 was one smooth operator. Transition and idle were clean and crisp with instantaneous response. No dead sticks occurred in the first six test flights, despite purposefully long high-altitude idles, followed by rapid full-throttle transitions. The 30% helicopter fuel gave a noticeable boost in power, plus the added oil in the fuel adds a nice trail of smoke.

15% lighter than other similarly sized engines
New splined throttle arm
The perfect engine for Hangar 9's Cub and .40-.50 size 3D airplanes
Lightweight AAC construction
Baked on gloss-black finish with shiny gold value covers

Overview

The .72 features an all-new crankcase with the same mounting dimensions as the Saito .56. This is achieved by narrowing the case just below the mounting flanges. Our staff has over 2 hours of run time on the .72, both on the bench and in a Hangar 9 .60-size Super Stick.

On the bench we compared the new .72 to the Saito .65 and to its nearest competitor using several different props. The new .72 consistently turned 400-600 rpm more than its .65 sibling and 200-300 rpm more than its nearest competitor on the same fuel. Also, the .72 weighs 3 ounces less than both, giving a much greater power-to-weight ratio than other brands.

In the 71/2-pound Super Stick, the .72 gives unlimited vertical performance. Handling, starting, idle, and transition are excellent, just what we've come to expect with Saito engines.

Saito's .72 is available in a standard version or a Golden Knight version featuring a gloss black powder-coated finish with gold rocker covers. For overpowering performance at a fraction of the weight, check out Saito's new .72.
