COMMENTS: The Surpass series is the 2nd series of 4-stroke engines. The first
            FS series was discontinued and replaced by the Surpass series
            around 1987. "Surpass" refers to this series gaining 30% more
            power than the previous FS-series engines.
          Some differences between 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines;
            4-strokes are quieter
            4-strokes get better fuel economy
            2-strokes generate more rpm (11,000-13,000 RPM with prop
              while 4-strokes rev to around 9,500 RPM)
            4-strokes generate much more torque and will swing a larger prop.
            4-strokes have a realistic sound like a real aircraft engine.
                                                                          ir/jl
