Saito FA 150 , 25cc four stroke glow engine
Saito FA 150. 1.5 ci / 25 cc. Four stroke methanol-nitro glow engine
What more can be said? This is the renowned, venerable, and just completely awesome Saito 150.
This engine is in excellent condition. I just went through it checking things over and oiled for storage. Turns over very smooth and high compression. It is ready to go right out of the box. Mount it, fill the tank with fuel, flip the prop, and FLY! The box is great yet showing some minor wear from being moved houses, rooms, and shelves as it has tagged along. I have not mounted nor flown this engine, only test run for a short time on the bench stand. Too many other things going on, I am decided on getting out of hobby (for now).
My intent was to put this in a CG10-300 or Seagull Ultimate. It of course is suitable to any 120-150/180 cu.in aka 20cc-26cc application.
I cannot help with your decision whether you are buying an engine or not. Nor with what make or model you choose to go with. However, if you are decided and it is to be a Saito 150, then consider the following. All of my engines are checked over regularly and maintained top notch. My engines get the bigger portion of the hobbylove and receive more attention than my airplanes. The last time I was in this engine was mid January 2017. The engine and muffler are pristinely clean, no varnish that is seen in the pictures.
If you are buying and are looking for the good one, THIS IS IT. I also have this engine listed locally at club, area classifieds and forums. I may end this listing at any moment. Do not wait. If you are decided on a Saito 150 then you also know the cost of a Saito and of one in this caliber; therefore you know what an absolutely smoking deal this one is. Therefor, although there is a best offer button, to not waste your time or mine trying for bottom scraping offers. That is not the kind of stuff I have or sell. This is a Saito. It is a 150. It's in top shape with maybe an hour of runtime on it. This is the one. Man up.
Happy fun times and great pleasures in whatever direction your RC enthusiasms take you.
Package: 24cm x 19cm x 10cm x 1.425 kg. From postal code V1J2B4

SALE PRICE:
I am not-for-profit and not retail. I am simply a guy who buy/sell stuff to move items along as the needs of the family change.

A. Time to pay;
It is rare that I am pressed. If you need some time, within reason of 3 to 10 days, to organize fund transfers to make payment, that will be fine with me. Go ahead and bid/buy. Then send me a message with your intentions and timeline. If I do not hear from you of your intent or see payment within 24 hours of end of the listing, I will cancel the order, I will relist the item, and I will send you a bill for all the resulting fees caused.
B. Using PayPal: <-----
- Paypal is convenient and great. However as a seller, it can get expensive. Depending on the transaction, Paypal applies fees and deducts them from the seller = me. Note --> I will not accept the fees being passed on to me <--
- To avoid fees, please add funds to your Paypal account in the currency of the listing before paying me.
- Payments that are drawn from funds already in your PayPal account are fee free and accepted as is.
- Paypal applied fees for your using credit card are 3%Can, 4%US, 4%-7% elsewhere and additional currency handling for non-Can of 4%+. It is paypal adding/charging these fees, NOT ME.
- If not paying by account balance; using credit card, please contact me for correct amount before paying by sending me a totals request. If you are rushed; you can go ahead and click through the eBay/Paypal autopay system screens, just know that we will need to square up afterwards. I WILL do one of the following.
a) I may accept as is. It really depends on the value of the item and how much I am losing to fees. OR
b) I will refuse the payment and ask you to resend with the correct amount OR
c) I will send you an addition invoice for a balance owing, 5$ minimum OR
d) I will cancel the order, and re-list the item
If you read through this, you have to expect that I will do a b c or d above. The subject of the paypal fees is non-negotiable so please don't try to act surprised when it happens.
—> Anything unclear about using Paypal? …. Just message me and ask for confirmation or clarification!
C. Alternative forms of payment:
- I also accept Interac e-Transfer (EMT), Canada only. This is actually my most preferred method. This is an easy to use instant payment method with no delays and very minimal transaction fees. Check with your online banking or the (Interac dot ca) website for information and details. Contact me if you want to use this method.
SHIPPING:
A. Method and Carriers
- I ship exclusively through Canada Post. Sorry, but I just do not have other viable or convenient options available in my area.
- Wherever possible and practical I automatically combine multiple purchase items into one package. No need to ask.
- For some items that are not easy or economical to ship, local pickup may be made available. Pre-payment is always required. Sorry, no pay at pickup option.
B. Costs
- The cost of parcel shipping is what it is. I do not add-on anything to shipping. There are no markups.
- There is no magic and are no secrets in coming up with a shipping cost. All shipping is determined online at the CanadaPost dot ca website. It is accurate.
- Parcel information added into the ebay shipping robot. Sometimes the robot works, other times it is off in a whole different world! If the automated shipping is not working or if the cost looks odd, follow the instructions here below for estimating.
- Calculated rates. The package dimensions and weight in the listing DESCRIPTION above. I cannot respond to every inquiry of shipping cost on every item. So, if you are serious about the item you please get a direct shipping cost by doing the following. Go to the (Canadapost dot ca) website. Enter the package size and weight given, enter your destination, enter the originating send from location as postal code V1J2B4. You will be given the list of options and costs are in Canadian dollar. That is all there is to it, I do nothing different. What you see there is what I see and it is what it is.
- Flat rates. The flat rate is based on my experience of sending other similar parcels. If I have setup as a flat rate it means it isn’t worth my time measuring and weighing to quote shipping. Flat rates are thus non-negotiable. Please don’t waste our time where I am trying to save it.
- In all cases if there is a significant difference when I go to the post office I will contact you. It is rare, but yes: sometimes there is money back, sometimes more is needed.
- If shipping out of Canada, I do not account for brokerage, import duties or taxes. Nor will I collect or pay them. The buyer is responsible for those as assessed and levied by their postal service upon delivery.
- Are you still stuck or uncertain on shipping? …. Just message me and ask for confirmation or clarification!
C. Tracking and Insurance
- Package tracking and insurance are included by default option selected.
- There may be more economic options available. If selected, I will still happily send the item to you. However in doing so you are explicitly agreeing that I will not be responsible nor have any liabilities beyond my delivering it to the post office.
- Some international destinations may not have the option of tracking or insurance by CanadaPost. I will still happily send the item to you. However in doing so you are explicitly agreeing that I will not be responsible nor have any liabilities beyond my delivering it to the post office.
- Some international destinations have import restrictions on certain types of items. Please check on such things before bidding. If you are serious about the item but not sure of restrictions, please contact me to confirm if I can send it to your location.
- In all cases, I reserve the right to cancel bids/sales that are found to be restricted, just not practical to ship, or are beyond service range of postal services.
RETURNS:
I do want you to be completely satisfied.…..
- In the unlikely event that we have a problem please contact me directly through the ebay messaging system to work towards a resolution.
- I do offer returns on some items. Check the listing specifics for those.
For everything else:
- If I am selling it, that is because the household no longer needs it. THEREFORE, all sales are final. There are no returns, no refunds, no claims, no debates, no excuses, no complaining, no whining, no exceptions.
- If, by an extraordinary exception, I agree to a return the refund terms shall be: you return the item promptly in unused, unaltered, exactly same packaging and condition as when it was sent. If I find it acceptable upon inspection, refund is the sale price of the item minus a 20% restocking, there will be no refund on any shipping costs or transaction fees, return shipping is at your expense.
- Finally, I will not discuss or accept returns on any items of a sale value of less than 80$ Cdn.
Is all of the above said understood? …. Good! I look forward to dealing with you! Happy Bidding!
