O.S. Engine OSMG0845 FS-40S - Four-Stroke Choice for Scale and Sport Models

Model aviators who prioritise steady, controllable power will find the FS-40S well suited to a variety of airframes. As a Surpass Series engine, it is optimised to accept larger diameter props and provide dependable thrust for different flying styles.

Surpass Series Construction

The Surpass Series employs a helix gear-driven camshaft at the front and an updraft carburettor at the rear to promote even mixture and reliable combustion. The FS-40S is supplied with a glow plug and a standard silencer to ease initial setup and reduce exhaust noise during operation.

RPM Range and Mechanical Data

Specifications include 0.396 cu in displacement, a 0.835 in bore and 0.724 in stroke. The engine runs effectively from about 2,200 to 12,000 rpm, develops roughly 0.65 hp at 12,000 rpm and weighs around 12.5 ounces.

Specifications

  • Displacement: 0.396 cu in
  • Bore: 0.835 in
  • Stroke: 0.724 in
  • Practical RPM: 2,200-12,000
  • Output: 0.65 hp @ 12,000 rpm
  • Weight: 12.5 oz
  • Recommended Props: 10x7.5, 11x6, 12x5, 12x6 (2-blade), 9x7 (3-blade)

The FS-40S offers a sensible balance of weight and usable power for modellers at different skill levels. With routine checks and correct prop selection it will perform reliably in many model types.

For efficient cruise performance try 12x5 or 12x6 two-blades; these tend to lower rpm for a smoother cruise while providing good thrust for typical model weights.
Begin with the manufacturer's baseline needle positions and adjust gradually while monitoring rpm and exhaust colour to avoid running too lean. Seek local advice if unsure.
The supplied silencer noticeably reduces exhaust noise versus an open header, making it better for club flying and reducing neighbour complaints.
