56 Golden Knight AAC with Muffler: JJ HISTORY On this Motor: Ran once or twice. Very clean! A little black paint rubbed off some of the fins. Practically a new engine! Key Features The overpowering choice for .40-size models Highest performance in its class Lightweight AAC construction Baked on, gloss-black heat dissipating finish with shiny gold valve covers Overview Many pilots of .40 size airplanes are powering their models with .50 size 4-stroke engines like Saito's famous FA-50. Captivated by the sweet sound of a 4-cycle engine, they also appreciate the slightly higher static thrust that comes via a bigger diameter prop.

The FA-56 features AAC piston/cylinder type construction (aluminum piston, aluminum cylinder with chrome plating), while all other components are the same as on the FA-50. For fliers wanting to lend a touch of class to their aircraft, the GK version of the .56 features a gloss black finish with polished gold valve covers. Of course, read more
