RE: MPX 12 DS IPD Rx programming

Thanks for the input Tony.

MPX 12 DS IPD Rx programming

Hi All
I've just acquired a "new" 12 DS IPD and am having trouble with the programming/failsafe. It should have had a programming plug included with the unit, but that's another story. I've made up...

Model Engines here in Melbourne may well be the oldest OS rep in the world. Might be worth a try using their query page to ask them the question direct. If they can help,...

Hi Speedy
No go here. Suggest you ask your question on the dedicated OS Support Forum. If anyone has the bits, they will help you I reckon.
Cheers, Peter

RE: OS 61VF ABC GS A-1

RE: OS 61VF GS A-1 prop recommendation

Hi Bill
Nice one! Yours is the FS - side exhaust, mine's the VF - rear. The big question - do you have the manual and can you answer my questions on lubrication and recommended props?

RE: OS 61VF GS A-1 prop recommendation

Thanks Terry

I think I know the stuff you're talking about. I'll check some old mates at Shell and see what I can dig up.

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread and helped me out.

RE: OS 61VF GS A-1 prop recommendation

Hi Jan
That sounds right, the "2" series box has a 1.895:1 ratio, and is described in the '82 brochure as for scale use. Thanks for your input. I think that buttons down the prop issue.

Thanks for the input and the lead to the Pe Reivers site. Excellent sheet - I had not taken gearbox efficiency into account, so the 14x8 should be about right. More to follow. Thanks again.

RE: OS 61VF GS A-1 prop recommendation

The 82 catalog simply says "stunt". They were made in the both the VF and VR (rear exhaust, rear rotary valve inlet/carb) in two gear ratios, 1.39 and 1.8x(?). The 1.8 was intended for "scale". They...
