be replaced easily with minimal change such as fuel tank and lines to gasoline-
resistant ones.
Features of the gasoline engine

Instructions for SAITO
・ Easy to install "smoke system" (by using muffler pressure or crank pressure)
The cylinder head is integrated with the cylinder in order to prevent distortion, save weight and improve
cooling effectiveness. Hard chromium is plated the cylinder without using liners for higher durability.
High-silicon-containing aluminum piston equipped with compression ring for higher performance.
Robust with forged high-strength aluminum. As a measure for gasoline engine, phosphor bronze busing is
pressed into the big end to improve heat resistance.
Robust with forged chromium molybdenum steel and supported by two ball bearings.
Placed in the front for compactification.
High output type, high cam specification.
Volumetric efficiency and combustion efficiency are improved by adoption of a vent roof type combustion
chamber.
Designed to have double nuts preventing loosening and fall-off for safety.
Sound quality similar to the exhaust sound of the real airplane. And as calm as a glow engine.
Self-designed and developed carburetor with a pump for small-seize 4-stroke gasoline engines.
A new designed battery type electronic ignition and the electronic spark advancing system.
Forward rotation (CCW) can be manually started due to automatic spark advancing system. (Using a starter
is still recommended for safety)
With the same composite fuel as two cycle gasoline engine which contains 5% of oil content.
Since there are no worries about the inclination of oil, all acrobatic flights are possible.
Small-size spark plug dedicated for our 4-stroke engine, of which screw size is the same as that of glow plug
