Key Features of the O.S. Engine 160FX

The O.S. Engine 160FX is aimed at model pilots who want a compact, torque-rich four-stroke. As the largest FX-series engine, its wide, wing-shaped exhaust port boosts low RPM torque, making it suited to both aggressive aerobatics and steady sport flying where a reliable throttle response matters.

Flexible Installation and Needle Control

This engine incorporates a remote needle valve with three mounting choices: vertical, horizontal or detached from the engine. That makes it easier to fit into a wide variety of cowlings and simplifies tuning access while still delivering economical fuel consumption for longer sorties.

Output Range and Included Gear

Displacing 1.60 cu in (26 cc), the 160FX produces 3.7 hp at 9,000 RPM and works across roughly 1,800 to 10,000 RPM. It is fitted with a Type 60F carburetor for stable throttle control and comes with the E-5010 silencer to reduce exhaust noise at the flying site.

Recommended Propeller Sizes

For crisp aerobatics consider prop sizes from 15x12 to 16.5x13. For general sport and touring use, props in the 17x10 to 18x12 band give better cruise efficiency and smoother handling.
