            (Wrenches, Choke Valve Extension, and Mounting Template Are No
             Longer Included per O.S.)

REQUIRES: Fuel: 5%-15% nitromethane with 18% lubricant. Synthetic, castor, or
            a castor/synthetic blend may be used.
          NOTE: Certain four-cycle fuels cannot be used due to low oil content.
            However, SOME four-cycle fuels such as the Wildcat 4-Cycle 15%
            (CATP9109) may be used due to its 18% oil content.
            When choosing fuels for this engine, the modeler must be sure to
            select a fuel with at least a 18% lubricant content.

COMMENTS: The Surpass series is the 2nd series of 4-stroke engines. The 1st
            FS series was discontinued and replaced by the Surpass series
            around 1987. "Surpass" refers to this series gaining 30% more
            power than the previous FS series engines.
          Some differences between 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines;
            4-strokes are quieter
            4-strokes get better fuel economy
            2-strokes generate more rpm (11,000-13,000 rpm with prop
              while 4-strokes rev to around 9,500 rpm)
            4-strokes generate much more torque and will swing a larger prop.
            4-strokes have a realistic sound like a real aircraft engine.
