john s Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi, I'm about to start a Gangster lite that arrived a couple of days ago and was wondering if a Saito 62 would fit and provide good performance, I don't have an engine for it yet so would be grateful for any suggestions/advice. john.

john s Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Thanks guys the Saito 62 is probably what I'll go with then. I've had a Saito 115 for several years now and its a great solid performer, and I do like 4 strokes. Nice covering job Jim, I'm ok with covering but clueless with trim!

john s Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 Just a follow up for anyone thinking of this combination. I've flown the Gangster a couple of times now with the Saito 62 and I think it's a really nice combination, I'm running the engine in on the wing so it's set very rich but still has plenty of power for this light airframe. The Gangster itself brings back happy memories of the original many years ago and is a delightful and easy model to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Jenkins Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 If you liked the Gangster lite, you might like to see if there are any unstarted Gangster 75 kits around. I was lucky enough to get one and it flies very nicely. Unfortunately, it's a bit on the heavy side even with a ST 90 on a pipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
