Saito Seisakusho Co., Ltd. is one of the most recognizable and respected modeling companies in the world. This Japanese manufacturer of top-class 4-stroke aircraft engines has been supplying its products to modelers from around the world for over 50 years.

SAITO four-strokes have been recognized both in the world of professional pilots, who value excellent technical parameters, durability and performance, as well as by beginners, primarily for simple adjustment and virtually maintenance-free operation.

A chrome-hardened piston made of silicon-rich aluminum alloy with a compression reinforcing ring, a monolithic structure of the head constituting a cylinder (no typical cylinder known from other engines!) for lower weight and better rigidity of the structure, a crankshaft made of hard chrome-molybdenum steel based on two top-quality ball bearings or a precise, highly efficient sports carburetor - all stages of production of each of these key elements, 100% manufactured in Japan remain under the strict control of SAITO engineers to ensure unrivaled quality.

It is no secret that each of the engines of the Japanese manufacturer is considered a real modeling mini work of art. All 4-bars with the SAITO logo are characterized by unchanged for years high quality of workmanship with great attention to detail, unrivaled performance (with their physical parameters), and, which for some is not insignificant - design, and unique sound issued during work. All this makes SAITO engines a brand in itself.

The FA-82 B GK engine is an engine replacing 2-stroke engines with a capacity of 6.5 to 8.5 ccm, both in trainers weighing approx. 2,200 - 2,600 g with a span of approx. 1500 - 1600 mm and in Fun-Fly models with a span of approx. 1200 mm and a weight of 2.3 kg. This 4-stroke engine characterized by good acceleration will not only work more evenly and quietly than its 2-stroke counterpart, but also spin a much larger propeller - up to 14-inch! Thanks to its relatively small dimensions, the FA-82 B GK engine will be installed on the same bed as with smaller SAITO FA-56 or FA-72 units.

The SAITO FA-82 B GK engine is also available in the exclusive "Golden Knight" version, with a black body and gold valve covers.
