Note: Graves RC Coupons are not applicable with this product  

This is the O.S. GT55 Gasoline Engine with Electronic Ignition.

Produces 20-30% more power than any other engine in its class
IG-01 Capacitive Discharge Ignition uses a microcomputer programmed
for optimum spark advance through the use of magnetic sensors on
the crankcase and prop drive, the IG-01 also detects and
compensates for wet plugs to ensure consistent quick starts, also
requires minimum current in stand-by mode and features a low
voltage warning (intermittent engine operation)
Front mounted WLA-2 carburetor stays cooler for less heat
percolation and more consistent performance, simple and direct
throttle and choke linkages
Unique one-piece crankcase eliminates gaskets and enhances strength
and precision
Front induction rotary valve crankshaft design for positive opening
and closing of valve for optimum timing, no oil seal required which
eliminates RPM loss due to additional friction
Massive front and rear crankshaft bearings for longer life and
maximum power output
Thin high-performance piston ring and high-strength aluminum alloy
piston for reduced break-in and high compression from the very
first run
Two year limited warranty through Hobby Services beginning at date
of purchase
