Remember that your engine is not a "toy", but a highly efficient internal-
combustion machine whose power is capable of harming you, or others, if it is
misused.
As owner, you, alone, are responsible for the safe operation of your engine, so act
with discretion and care at all times.
If at some future date, your O.S. engine is acquired by another person, we would
respectfully request that these instructions are also passed on to its new owner.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR O.S. ENGINE
The advice which follows is grouped under two headings according to the
degree of damage or danger which might arise through misuse or neglect.
WARNINGS NOTES
These cover events which
might involve serious (in
extreme circumstances, even
fatal) injury.
These cover the many other
possibilities, generally less obvious
sources of danger, but which, under
certain circumstances, may also
cause damage or injury.

WARNINGS
Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do not
allow it to come into contact with the eyes
or mouth.Always store it in a
clearlymarkedcontainerand
out of the reach of children.
Never operate your engine in an en-
closed space. Model engines, like auto-
mobile engines, exhaust deadly carbon-
monoxide. Run your engine only in an
open area.
Model engines generate considerable
heat. Do not touch any part of your
engine until it has cooled. Contact with
the muffler (silencer),
cylinder head or exhaust
header pipe, in particular,
may result in a serious burn.
•
•
•
•
Never touch, or allow any object to come
into contact with, the rotating
propeller and do not crouch
over the engine when it is
running.
A weakened or loose propeller may
disintegrate or be thrown off and, since
propeller tip speeds with powerful
engines may exceed 600 feet(180 metres)
per second, it will be understood that
such a failure could result in serious
injury, (see 'NOTES' section relating to
propeller safety).
•
Model engine fuel is also highly
flammable. Keep it away from open flame,
excessive heat, sources of sparks, or
anythingelsewhichmightignite
it.Donotsmokeorallowanyone
else to smoke, near to it.

NOTES
•
•
•
•
•
This engine was designed for model
aircraft. Do not attempt to use it for any
other purpose.
Mount the engine in your model securely,
following the manufacturers' recommenda-
tions, using appropriate screws and lock-
nuts.
Be sure to use the silencer (muffler)
supplied with the engine. Frequent
exposure to an open exhaust may
eventually impair your hearing.
Such noise is also likely to cause
annoyance to others over a wide area.
Install a top-quality propeller of the
diameter and pitch specified for the engine
and aircraft. Locate the propeller on the
shaft so that the curved face of the blades
faces forward-i.e. in the direction of flight.
Firmly tighten the propeller nut, using the
correct size wrench.
If you remove the glowplug from the engine
and check its condition by connecting the
battery leads to it, do not hold the plug with
bare fingers.Use an appropriate tool or a
folded piece of cloth.

NOTES
•
•
Always check the tightness of the propeller
nut and retighten it, if necessary, before
restarting the
engine, particularly in the
case of four-stroke-cycle engines. If a
safety locknut assembly is provided with
your engine, always use it. This will prevent
the propeller from flying off in the event of a
"backfire", even if it loosens.
If you fit a spinner, make sure that it is a
precision made product and that the slots
for the propeller blades do not cut into the
blade roots and weaken them.
Preferably, use an electric starter. The
wearing of safety glasses is also strongly
recommended.
•
•Discard any propeller which has become
split, cracked, nicked or otherwise rendered
unsafe. Never attempt to repair such a
propeller: destroy it. Do not modify a propeller
inanyway,unlessyouarehighlyexperienced
in tuning propellers for specialized
competition work such as pylon-racing.
Take care that the glow plug clip or battery
leads do not come into contact with the
propeller. Also check the linkage to the
throttle arm. A disconnected linkage could
also foul the propeller.
After starting the engine, carry out any
needle-valve readjustments from a safe
position behind the rotating propeller. Stop
the engine before attempting to make other
adjustments to the carburetor.
•

NOTES
•
•
•
•
•
Adjust the throttle linkage so that the engine
stops when the throttle stick and trim lever
on the transmitter are fully retarded.
Alternatively, the engine may be stopped by
cutting off the fuel supply. Never try to stop
the engine physically.
Take care that loose clothing (ties, shirt
sleeves, scarves, etc.)do not come into
contact with the propeller.Do not carry loose
objects (such as pencils, screwdrivers, etc.)
in a shirt pocket from where they could fall
through the propeller arc.
Do not start your engine in an area
containing loose gravel or sand.
The propeller may throw such material in
your face and eyes and cause injury.
For their safety, keep all onlookers
(especially small children) well back (at
least 20 feet or 6 meters) when preparing
your model for flight. If you have to carry
the model to the take-off point with the
engine running, be especially cautious.
Keep the propeller pointed away from you
and walk well clear of spectators.
Warning! Immediately after a glowplug-
ignition engine has been run and is still
warm, conditions sometimes exist whereby
it is just possible for the engine to abruptly
restart if the propeller is casually flipped
over compression WITHOUT the glowplug
battery being reconnected. Remember this
if you wish to avoid the risk of a painfully
rapped knuckle!

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
In place of the piston and cylinder of a
conventional reciprocating engine, the Wankel
motor has a three-lobe rotor which moves in a
circular path, while rotating about its own axis,
THE NSU/WANKEL SYSTEM
Now available in a new and improved
PI(peripheral inlet) model, its outstanding
features remain its high specific power output,
its almost total freedom from vibration, its
relatively low noise level and its compact
shape.
This highly successful application of the
NSU/Wankel System to a power unit of
miniature proportions, was only made possible
by the expertise of O.S. research and
development engineers and by the high levels
of precision craftsmanship achieved in its
tooling and manufacture.
within a housing having an epitrochoidal bore -
i.e. a wide-waisted figure-of-eight
shape.Planetary rotation is controlled by an
eccentric shaft, an internally-toothed gear and
a fixed pinion mounted centrally on the rear
cover plate. The tips of the rotor are in
continuous contact with the housing, forming
three chambers, each of which changes in
volume, with rotation, to effect suction,
compression, expansion and exhaust phases,
as in a four-stroke reciprocating engine.
Spring-loaded tip seals on the rotor prevent
gases from passing from one chamber to the
adjoining one and the rotor uncovers ports, as
in a two-stroke engine, to control intake and
exhaust timing.
The engine is fitted with a conventional throttle
type carburettor that gives smooth and
progressive control of engine speed from idling
to full power. It is also supplied with a compact
matched muffler that very effectively
attenuates exhaust noise without causing
undue power loss.

The role of the glowplug
With a glowplug engine, ignition is initiated by the
applicationofa1.5-voltpowersource.Whenthebattery
isdisconnected,theheatretainedwithinthecombustion
chamber remains sufficient to keep the plug filament
glowing,therebycontinuingtokeeptheenginerunning.
Ignition timing is 'automatic' : under reduced load,
allowing higher rpm, the plug becomes hotter and,
appropriately, fires the fuel/air charge earlier;
conversely,atreducedrpm,theplugbecomecoolerand
ignition is retarded.
Install a plug suitable for the engine.
(i.e. O.S. Type RE)
Use fuel containing a moderate percentage of
nitromethane unless more is essential for racing
events.
Do not run the engine too lean and do not leave the
battery connected while adjusting the needle.
However, plug life can be extended and engine
performance maintained by careful use, i.e.:
Apart from when actually burned out, a plug may
need to be replaced because it no longer delivers its
best performance, such as when:
When to replace the glowplug
Filament surface has roughened and turned white.
Filament coil has become distorted.
Foreign matter has adhered to filament or plug
body has corroded.
Engine tends to cut out when idling.
Starting qualities deteriorate.
