Unique features of SAITO FA-200R3
Optimum for small-size scaled airplane
Low vibration (assured by constant-interval explosion)
Real sound of the exhaust.
The engine is designed to equalize fuel mixture and minimize misfire due to insufficient distributing at idling by means of special port type intake manifold
originally developed by SAITO.
Cylinder head: Improved semi-spherical combustion chamber assures better combustion efficiency and volumetric efficiency.
Cylinder: The aluminum cylinder is directly hard-chrome plated on its inner surface without installing liners to reduce weight and increase durability. The monolithic
structure of cylinder head and cylinder prevents distortion and improves cooling efficiency.
Piston: The piston is made of high silicon content aluminum and attached with a compression ring to heighten engine performance.
･
Crankshaft: Has a forged solid construction made of chrome molybdenum steel, and supported by two ball bearings.
Cam: Features high cam providing longer maximum lift time.
Carburetor: High-performance of slow throttling type.
Propeller nut: designed to have double nuts preventing loosening and fall-off for the safety.

Mechanism of 4-Stroke Engines
The 4-Stroke engine provides 4 individual piston
movements as illustrated below. The “Stroke” means the
piston movement from the Top Dead Center to the Bottom
Dead Center. In the 4-Stroke engine, one cycle of operation
in change of gas state inside the cylinder and valve
movement are completed at every 4 strokes of piston that is
every 2 revolutions of the crankshaft. Formally the engine is
called the 4-stroke one-cycle engine.
