Saito FA90 R3 Radial
Picked up this engine from Great Hobbies on Boxing Day, after all the discounts it was $237.49, not bad considering the original list price was over $1000!
Looking for suggestions on what to put it in, my gut feeling is a 1/6 Balsa USA Sopwith Pup. Any other ideas? |

Re: Saito FA90 R3 Radial
They had a huge clearance sale on it. I was tempted to get one myself, but I'm more of a helicopter guy, so I didn't. I think it's discontinued which was another reason for being so cheap.

Re: Saito FA90 R3 Radial
They sent out an email with all the Boxing Day sales on Christmas Eve, I'm pretty sure they only had one of these. It is discontinued and seriously under powered for it's displacement. It will likely be the only radial engine I ever own, so even though it's a lot smaller than I would normally go for, I'm super excited to have it.
This is what came up on their website for the Boxing Day sale..... |
