Product Features
- The overpowering choice for .40 size models
- Highest performance in its class
- Lightweight AAC construction
Many pilots of .40 size airplanes are powering 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.
Four Stroke Power!
For pilots who long for the thrill of overpowering 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!
Durability
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. For fliers wanting to
lend a touch of class to their aircraft, the GK version of the .56
features a gloss black finish with polished gold valve covers. Of
course, as with all Saito engines, the FA-56 and FA-56GK come with a
full 3-year warranty.
If you want blazing performance and that 4-stroke purr for your
model, check out the Saito FA-56.
