I have already looked at the Tower website and noted it says discontinued......but that could just mean that Tower has discontinued carrying it as a stock line!
I wonder if it could also mean that there is a replacement coming from OS for this engine? |
GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With OS stopping production on this engine and K&B not really having anything I see this as a huge setback for the RC Jet community. What new jet flier is going to spend $2500 on a engine then another $2000-$3000 on airframe and misc parts for it.
So much for flying jet's with a $2500 jet. Looks like it's something greater than $5000. That SUCKS |

Littlepiston, you can make your own fuel tanks out of soda bottles,etc. Buy used gear like retracts,etc., you would be suprised how much of this stuff you can make yourself- turbine flight box-not that much different than a glow fuel box-5 gallon fuel container-buy it at Wal Mart -$10- fuel pump-$15 at auto parts stores-scratch build yourself a jet out of wood and foam-just draw a plane on a sheet of paper that looks like any modern jet-you can do it ! -you can build a jet out of wood and foam for $100 or less......fire ext.-used CO2 at a Fire Ext. shop-$25-$50.-come on brother-you're a BUILDER right ?!

How much is a wren turbine kit?
I am getting a mig 29 and I could easily convert that frame to turbine. Plus without df how are we supposed to get practice for the turbine waiver, with a fast prop plane? Looks like the new bvm 91 and the os 91 I have are staying put... |

I asked my friend in Japan to speak to O.S., he knows the people well, and here's what he wrote back:
"Just called Mr.Sugawara head quarter of OS engines he said this engine is still available but not making much as use to be." So, straight from O.S. Headquarters in Japan, the 91 is still in production. |
