O.S. Engine OSMG0660 160FX Performance Aircraft Engine  [OSMG0660]

Introducing the O.S. Engine 160FX for Model Aircraft

The O.S. Engine 160FX delivers compact four-stroke performance with strong low-end torque, making it suitable for a wide range of model aircraft. As the largest member of the FX series, its distinctive wide, wing-shaped exhaust port contributes to effective torque production at lower revs for responsive handling.

Design Features and Mounting Choices

The model includes a remote needle valve system that can be mounted vertically, horizontally or separately from the engine, giving installers flexibility for different cowl and firewall layouts. Its efficient fuel consumption is a practical benefit for pilots aiming to maximise airborne time.

Performance Range and Supplied Components

With a 1.60 cu in (26 cc) displacement, the 160FX produces 3.7 hp at 9,000 RPM and operates across a practical range from 1,800 to 10,000 RPM. It is supplied with a Type 60F carburetor for accurate throttle control and the E-5010 silencer to reduce exhaust noise during operation.

Propeller Selection Advice

For aerobatic work select props in the 15x12 to 16.5x13 range for rapid response. For sport and cross-country style flying use 17x10 to 18x12 props to improve cruise efficiency and handling stability.

The O.S. Engine 160FX is a practical, fuel-efficient four-stroke option for pilots seeking a balance of power, compact size and installation versatility.
