SAIE056    56 AAC w/Muffler: II


Key Features 


The overpowering choice for .40 size models

Highest performance in its class

Lightweight AAC construction






Overview 


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. 


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!



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.
