This is one of the O.S. Surpass series of 4-stroke model engines.
The Surpass series is the 2nd series of 4-stroke engines (The 1st series was
the FS series, discontinued and replaced by the Surpass series around 1986-7).
"Surpass" refers to this series gaining 30% more power than the previous
FS series.
FEATURES: Specially developed PD-07 pump
New 70N carb
Ball bearing-supported camshaft and crankshaft
New F-5020 Silencer
Two year warranty
INCLUDES: One Assembled Engine w/Carburetor and #F Glow Plug
One Muffler w/Manifold
One Set of Instructions, O.S. Poster, and Decal
(Mounting Template Is No Longer Included per O.S.)
REQUIRES: Fuel: 5%-15% nitromethane with 18% lubricant. Synthetic, castor, or
a synthetic/castor blend may be used.
NOTE: Certain four-cycle fuels cannot be used due to low oil content.
However, SOME four-cycle fuels such as the Wildcat 4-Cycle 15%
(CATP9109) may be used because it has 18% oil content.
When choosing fuels for this engine, the modeler must be sure to
select a fuel with at least a 18% lubricant content.

COMMENTS: Some differences between 2-Stroke and 4-Stroke engines;
4-Strokes are quieter.
4-Strokes get better Fuel Economy
2-Strokes generate More rpm (11,000-13,000 rpm with prop
and 4-Strokes rev to around 9,500 rpm)
4-Strokes generate much more torque and will swing a larger prop.
4-Strokes have a more realistic sound, like a real aircraft engine.
The new Surpass engines (Version II and III) have more power than
their predecessors and they also have more corrosion prevention
on the inside of the crankcases.
