Default RE: OS -160 conversion


ORIGINAL: Cyberwolf

Bob it was your conversion that Ralph did for you that made me decide to make one of my own. I have 3 of the 160's while
the 160 sips glow fuel for it's size I can only imagine what it will do on gas, What really got my attention was your statement about how reliable the engine is now on gas was the deciding factor. I know I will lose a little power but the plane it is going in never needed all of the power of the 160 to start with.
As soon as the IGN hits i'll be doing some bench runs with different props to see where I stand on that end. The weather here is trying to break so maybe I can even get a few flights in.
Who knows if this works out well I just may convert them all over to gas.
Your OS looks brand new compared to mine. I follow Ralph's advice and run 10:1 oil. I have no doubt yours will please you with one tiny caveat: it is kind of 'snappy' so wear glove. I do not know if that is due to mine having the CM6 plug or not. BTW, I bought a muffler for a G62 from rcextremepower. It fits fine and is much lighter than the original OS muffler.
