Description
The FG-11 11cc single-cylinder four-stroke gas engine is a compact powerplant designed for 40-size RC airplanes. It offers a gasoline-powered alternative to glow engines, delivering reliable starts and smooth, four-stroke performance with electronic ignition and a pumped carburetor. The engine’s .60-size footprint fits neatly into conventional 40- to 60-size airframes, and it ships complete with a pump carburetor, muffler, ignition and engine mount for easy installation.
Gasoline power can cut operating costs per flight by up to 90% and provides a favorable power-to-weight balance for engaging flight. The FG-11 shares Saito’s reputation for refined four-stroke sound and craftsmanship, with an ignition module that is compatible with a 2S Li-Po battery for quick starts and reliable performance while keeping power consumption low. For longevity, use a synthetic oil mix in the 16:1 to 20:1 range as recommended to protect the engine and maintain smooth operation.
