It is slightly oversquare with a bore:stroke ratio of 1:1.0127 (10.2mm:10.0mm, 0.813cc). It has a die cast crankcase and an alloy steel crankshaft. The overall weight is 48.2 grams.
The engine is designed to run on 10% to 20% nitro with at least 22% oil, ideally a 50:50 castor:synthetic oil blend, and to swing propellers in the size range 5x3 to 6x4, which give an operating rpm range of 12,000 rpm to 18,000 rpm.
