The O.S. Engine FP glow engine series was produced in the 1980's and early 1990's as a line of rc glow engines that were more economical to produce and thus a lower cost to consumers. The engines were also designed to be a little more user friendly in terms of starting, running and maintaining. I purchased this OS 60 FP used but it needed a little refurbishing. I took the engine completely apart and cleaned all the parts. Then I rebuilt it and mounted it on a test stand. Using Morgan glow fuel with 15% nitromethane, a Master Airscrew 12-6 propeller, and an OS No. 8 Glow Plug, the engine started right up with just a little effort. I tracked the RPM using a Hangar 9 tachometer. The engine ran great, very powerful and will be a great engine for RC Plane.
In this video I also discuss briefly the history of the OS MAX FP engines and I also briefly discuss the difference between and air bleed carburetor and a carburetor with low speed needle. All of the OS MAX FP engines came with air bleed carburetors. Hopefully this video will be helpful for those who have older RC plane engines.
I have been building, flying, crashing, modifying, and repairing radio control planes (RC Planes) for many years and enjoy sharing what I do with the radio control plane community, so I started RC Plane Tech channel for fun. I am not an expert, there are many different techniques when building radio control planes. A good way to learn about flying and building rc planes is to see what others are doing, that's what I do and that's why I like to share what I do.
Thanks for watching my channel. Hopefully you will find my videos a little interesting and perhaps fun to watch.
