Look for his engine review in the June 2008 issue of MAN.
Here's are the Key Features from the Saito press release:
4-stroke gas engine from one of RC's top brands
36cc displacement rivals similarly sized 2-strokes
Includes: Ignition, Muffler, Walbro Carb & Motor Mount
Built for the utmost in reliability and performance
Brings Saito experience to gas enthusiasts
Comparable in power to Saito FA-220 glow 4-stroke
Available in traditional silver case
Overview
The RC industry’s most reliable manufacturer of top-quality glow 4-stroke engines, introduces its first gas-powered engine, the Saito FG-36. This engine is the gas equivalent of the 220 glow engine in terms of size and dimensions, yet it gives you the cleaner, lower operating cost of gas with 36cc of power. Above and beyond the advantages of a 4-stroke gas engine, this is the engine for those who like to run clean and efficient engines. Accompanied by the power and precision craftsmanship of Saito, the distinguished look and sweet sound, this is the engine many of you have been waiting for.
As an expert in reliable 4-stroke, Saito spent two years developing the best-built 4-stroke gas engine. The power-to-weight ratio of a Saito creates a one-of-a-kind flying experience. For you serious modelers, the long awaited arrival of a high-quality, powerful, and precision craftsmanship gas engine is here.
