Saito Engines FA-56 AAC Four Stroke Glow Engine w/Muffler: II

If you want blazing, overpowering performance and that 4-stroke purr for your .40 size aircraft, check out the Saito FA-56. Many pilots of .40 size airplanes are choosing to power their models with .50 size 4-stroke engines like Saito's famous FA-50. Captivated by the sweet sound of a 4-cycle engine, they also appreciate the slightly higher static thrust that comes via a bigger diameter prop.

But for pilots who long for the thrill of MORE POWER for their model, Saito offers the FA-56 and FA-56GK engines! Saito took the proven .50 and bored it out by 1.4mm to arrive at a .5612 cubic inch displacement. While the weight remains nearly identical to the .50 (15.5 ounces w/muffler), the power difference is remarkable. In fact, a 1,000 RPM gain was recorded with an APC 12x7 propeller!

The FA-56 features AAC piston/cylinder type construction (aluminum piston, aluminum cylinder with chrome plating), while all other components are the same as on the FA-50. Of course, as with all Saito engines, the FA-56 comes with a full 3-year manufacturers warranty.
