Default OPS 80 ducted fan motor

Hello guys,

Is this engine worth anything compared to other DF engines? i think it might be chinese made ?

There is a guy selling one with a new Dynamax fan.. so im curious about your opinion.

thanks.

It's Italian, not Chinese.

I've got one - I think they've been out of production for a while, but not sure. I've never run mine, but it seems well made. I heard they were strong running engines in Dynamax fans. The biggest problem with OPS engines, from what I could gather was their lack of support - could not get parts, etc. from the factory. Several distributors dropped the OPS line in the US because of that.

They don't like nitro. in the fuel and are picky on plug selection from the airplane motors I have ran.

If I were you, I'd stick with the OS or a BVM engine unless you just want to check it out with nothing to loose.
