Hi Paul,
No answer for 6 days is probably because control line flyers here usually discuss using the Saito 30-40-56-62-72 so they have no experience with a "50". I never even knew there was a 50.
Maybe, some RC guys may have some experience with a 50 and could weigh in.

The obvious answer to your question is go to whoever is the equivelent of the US distributor Horizon Hobbies in your part of the world. However, when I looked at gasket sets on Horizon's website it was confusing because they use a 2 letter code "AA" or similar but I could not find which gasket fits what engine. So you have to figure out what code letters equals your engine and then check your distributors website for availability.

The other option is to send the engine in for service to replace the gaskets and then it becomes the service centers problem to find the right gaskets.    Good Luck.

Pat
     I posted here just to find out who would stock the parts,I think I read somewhere
that the 50 saito has the same case as the 56,if I could confirm that, it may make it easier to
get the gaskets. As far as the letter code goes I think "E" is what I need.
Thanks for your interest

The 50 (discontinued in 2007) and the 56 have differing weights and bores but the stroke and external dimensions are the same.
