O.S. Engines
O.S. engines have been one of the biggest names in the model aircraft scene ever since the O.S. MAX engine line was released and have continued to manufacture powerful and reliable engines to this day. Thus, it comes as no surprise that many experienced hobbyists exclusively put O.S. engines in their models.
At RCMA Model & Hobby Shop, we understand this insistence on quality, which is why we offer one of the biggest selections of O.S. engines in Australia. Browse our collection to find the engine that is perfect for your needs.
Gasoline and Glow O.S. Engines
You can find the O.S. engine that perfectly suits your model by first deciding whether you prefer gasoline or glow engines. For those seeking the efficiency of gasoline, the O.S. GGT15 offers that and a unique advantage: it combines the convenience of glow plug ignition with the reliability of gasoline power. This 15cc engine eliminates the need for an ignition module, making it lightweight and easy to start using just a glow driver. The GGT15 is a great choice for .61-.91 class models.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a glow engine, the O.S. MAX-95AX is a high-performance option designed for aerobatic and large-scale planes. It can fit into tight spaces while still delivering an impressive 2.86 horsepower, making it perfect for more demanding models. Its extra-long crankshaft ensures smoother performance, reducing the vibrations common in single-cylinder engines. Plus, the included E-4040 power muffler helps dampen noise while enhancing power.
2-Stroke and 4-Stroke O.S. Engines
You could also make your choice based on whether you prefer the easier maintenance and more top-end power of a 2-stroke engine or the fuel efficiency and higher torque of a 4-stroke engine. For a 2-stroke O.S. engine, the O.S. Max 46AX II is an excellent option for sport and aerobatic aircraft. It has an advanced bi-metallic liner which provides the engine with better durability and compression, ultimately giving it a longer life.
The design allows it to fit a variety of cowls, while the precision fit between the piston and sleeve provides smoother performance. This engine delivers up to 1.67 horsepower and is a great option if you're breaking into nitro-powered flight. On the other end of the spectrum, you have the extremely powerful GF40 O.S. engine. This 4-stroke gasoline engine offers quick response and excellent fuel economy, running on a standard gasoline and oil mix.
Its deeper exhaust note mimics full-size aircraft, adding a touch of realism to scale models. The GF40 also features a PCV system for cleaner operation and comes equipped with a muffler and integral backplate. If you need power and performance in your scale or aerobatic model, the GF40 delivers both.
