Overview of the O.S. Engine 160FX for Model Pilots

Designed for pilots who need compact four-stroke power, the O.S. Engine 160FX delivers strong torque while fitting into snug cowlings. As the biggest engine in the FX lineup, its wide, wing-shaped exhaust port helps produce torque at lower revs, giving dependable throttle feel for sport and aerobatic flying.

Mounting Flexibility and Service Access

The engine's remote needle valve gives three practical mounting choices: vertical, horizontal or with the needle remotely positioned from the engine body. That flexibility makes tuning easier on tightly cowled models, and the engine's frugal fuel use is handy for longer flights between landings.

RPM Range and Included Parts

The 160FX displaces 1.60 cubic inches (26 cc) and puts out 3.7 hp at 9,000 RPM, with a useful operating band from 1,800 to 10,000 RPM. It comes equipped with a Type 60F carburetor for precise control and includes the E-5010 silencer to reduce exhaust noise at the field.

Propeller Guidance

Choose props that match your flying style: aerobatic pilots will prefer 15x12 to 16.5x13 for quick acceleration, while sport setups work well with 17x10 to 18x12 for efficient cruise and smooth handling.
