Saito FG-1482 Petrol Engine

Development of the Saito FG series of petrol engines continues apace. Introducing the FG14B.Performance wise the FG-14B is comparable to the FA-72 glow engine. As with other FG engines, it employs a carburettor with a diaphragm pump. This helps make the engine non-critical in terms of fuel levels, allowing the fuel tank to be mounted in a wider range of locations, as well as sustaining fuel flow during aggressive aerobatics and vertical manoeuvres.Each engine is supplied with a sparkplug, muffler and an electronic ignition system. Due to the fuel efficiency of this engine it only requires a tank with one-third the capacity of a similar glow engine. Fuel consumption is rated at just 8 cc per minute! The FG-14B runs with any good quality forecourt petrol, mixed 20:1 with oil. Not only does this keep running costs low, it helps keep your airframe clean too as there is minimal exhaust residue.Saito recommend the use of the FG-14B engine mount (SAI1495) to get the best performance from this jewel of an engine.
