Are OS Engines still made in China

A number of years ago, I purchased an OS46AXII only to find that it was made in China. The engine was bad. No matter what I did, it would not hold a consistent idle. With every flight, I had to...

In an attempt to get back to the original question, there's been a definite resurgence of glow/gas powered planes at my club's flying field. I've always been part of the 'hard core' glow/gas flyers...

It's a Sig Kougar and it looks like it has a OS FSR engine. If the engine turns and has compression, it's well worth $50, at least to someone like me who loves and has a Kougar with an OS 50 FSR....

RE: Testing the new NV (Norvel) .40 size (6.5cc) gasoline glow engine

I have to disagree with you as well. Being someone who flies mostly 40 to 50 sized glow, I'm very interested in this engine. And I have friends who also have expressed an interest in the engine.

RE: Unidentified Yellow Bipe!

Good thing that you found them on hand for I have a feeling that Goldberg isn't producing their small parts any longer. At least they're not listing any small parts on their web site. I also...

RE: Unidentified Yellow Bipe!

Hello Stu,
What I remember is that I used a 90 degree nylon bracket. It had two holes in the longer side for the mounting screws and I needed to drill a 1/16 inch hole in the other half of the...

RE: Unidentified Yellow Bipe!

It's most definitely a Sporty Ace. I build one from plans right after it was published in RCM. I still have the plane and it still flies great. My only recommendation is that it can be a little...

RE: Has RCM folded?

They're generally in the $10 range. I do agree that they are expensive. But I judge price based on number of articles that I want to read before I purchase any magazine. In the American...

RE: Is modification to front bearings needed?

Thanks for your replies. So I guess that there's no right or wrong way to do it. Therefore, the engineer in me wants to test both scenarios :-)

The Electrostik flies nicely with the stock setup. But just that, it flies nicely. It's a little underwhelming for my taste. It will probably take off from water with the additional weight from...

Good Luck...
