Technical Summary for the O.S. Engine GT55

The O.S. Engine GT55 Gas Engine, carrying the model number OSMG1555, is built to deliver repeatable power and straightforward maintenance for model pilots who expect consistent results from their engine installation.

Cooling Fins and Monobloc Crankcase

The GT55 uses a high count of deep, narrow fins on both the head and crankcase to aid heat dissipation during extended runs. Its one-piece crankcase reduces seam complexity and preserves internal alignments for reliable operation.

Carburettor Positioning and Installation Benefits

A front-mounted carburettor assists with cooling and helps keep fuel delivery consistent. Shorter standoffs create a firmer mount, reducing unwanted movement, while direct throttle and choke linkage attachment simplifies rigging.

IG-01 Ignition Characteristics

The IG-01 Capacitive Discharge Ignition employs a microcomputer for smart spark advance and uses magnetic sensing for timing. It copes with wet plugs, offers quick starts and keeps standby current low for sensible field use.

Specifications

  • Displacement: 3.352 cu in (54.93 cc)
  • Bore: 1.62 in (41.2 mm)
  • Stroke: 1.62 in (41.2 mm)
  • Practical RPM: 1,500-8,000

The GT55 is well suited to seasoned modellers seeking a solid gas engine with modern ignition and a layout that supports reliable installation and serviceability.

Ensure the firewall is stiff and mounts are secure. Use quality fasteners and check alignment so that the propeller shaft runs true and vibration is minimised.
The engine is engineered to handle a range of operating conditions thanks to its cooling fin design and IG-01 ignition, but correct tuning and regular checks are important for consistent performance.
Follow standard break-in practices: run through the recommended initial throttle cycles, monitor temperatures, and recheck mounting and linkages after the first few flights.
Verify fuel lines and fittings, confirm ignition power, inspect for loose fasteners, and ensure the propeller is balanced to protect bearings and reduce vibration.
