Here is a review from 1993: https://sceptreflight.com/Model%20En...O%20FA-50.html

I found this higher compression piston, (on the left) that I acquired from Gary and installed in one of my 50's. Yours probably already has it.

My first FA-50. Alive and well after many hours burning castor oil laced fuel.
No stuck valves, ever

The only fuel I have is " Model technics Formula Irvine 10 Contest Nitro Glow fuel (MTCO10)" which I have been using to power an ASP52 4 stroke. I don't know if it has any castor oil in it.
Can I use this for the Saito FA-50? I understand it has an oil content of 18% using Klotz Techniplate oil. Would I need to add castor to this?
