Authentic scale sound and power from the O.S. Engine OSMG1160 FT-160

Listed as the FT-160 and carrying model code OSMG1160, this twin-cylinder glow engine is designed for modellers who prioritise both realism and usable performance. It represents an upgrade over the FT-120 II with an estimated 15% higher power figure, which benefits larger 1/4 scale models in climb and cruise.

What the twin setup brings to flying

The FT-160's twin-cylinder architecture reduces single-cylinder vibration and smooths out the power band, helping pilots maintain control through detailed flying sequences. The dual exhaust pattern also creates a more convincing engine sound for scale displays.
