Mounting the Engine

Sturdy engine mounting is required. Mounting beams

should be integral to the airframe and should provide

sufficient support as necessary to absorb vibration. A

beam style motor mount (SAI200Ti/100Ti-95) is

provided with the FA-200Ti/100Ti to ease mounting the

engine to the firewall. Engine installation should be made

so that periodic maintenance can be performed easily, to

include the checking and adjustment of valve clearances.

Cooling

Caution: If the engine is to be mounted in an

enclosed cowl, it is essential that provision be

made to provide adequate cooling of both cylinders,

especially the rear cylinder. This may be done

through the use of baffles in the cowling to direct

airflow past the cylinders.

Suggestions

(1) If the model uses the water-cooled type engine

cowling (P-51 for example) with dummy exhaust

ports in the cowling, a hole or holes can be

provided in the dummy exhaust port to make sure

air from the propeller can pass through the cowl

and out these holes.

(2) With air-cooled type engines (the Tiger Moth for

example), an opening should be made under the

cowling located in front of the firewall so air can

pass through the cowl around the engine

and outside.

In both cases, efforts must be taken to make sure the air

passes through the cowl and around the engine and exits

the engine compartment. One method is to make baffles

that direct air around the cylinders and out the engine

compartment.

Muffler Assembly

The Saito FA-200Ti/100Ti comes with exhaust pipes.

These are adequate for most applications: however,

many modelers will prefer to use the optional flexible

exhaust pipes for many scale applications.

Use the following procedure to install each muffler to the

engine.(FA-200Ti is used as example)

For the FA-200Ti, SAI182TD-111-1 and SAI182TD-111-

2 are the Part Numbers

For the FA-100Ti, the flexible exhaust pipe is SAI100Ti-

111-1 and SAI100Ti.111-2(w/Pressure Fitting)

1. Screw the left muffler (200Ti-73 front) into the

exhaust port of the front cylinder until it reaches the

bottom, then unscrew slightly until the muffler is at the

right exhaust outlet angle. Secure the muffler in

position by tightening the muffler nut firmly against

the cylinder head with the 12mm wrench supplied.

2. Repeat the above procedure to mount the other muffler

(200Ti-74A rear, w/pressure nipple) into the rear

engine cylinder.
