As far as modelers are concerned, there’s no sound like the sweet sound of a SaitoTM engine. Saito’s latest wonder is the FA-40a, which shares nearly the same case size as the FA-30, but packs a whole lot more punch. All this power coupled with solid Saito craftsmanship and the standard 3-year warranty is sure to make this potent little 4-stroke one of the year’s most anticipated engines. As with most Saito engines, a special Golden Knight edition is available with a gloss black case and gold plated rocker covers.

Saito Engines FA-40A Stroke Engine
This is an outstanding little engine. I'm using it on a seaplane with a 60" wingspan and it has plenty of power swinging a 10x6 MAS prop. I followed the manufacturer break in procedure and have roughly 30 flights on it. Very happy, would recommend.

Here's a video of it in action:
