Reliable Rotary Power for Small Airframes

The O.S. Engine 49-PI Type II .30 Wankel Rotary Engine offers compact and reliable performance for small model aircraft. Its rotary internals and precision bearings reduce vibration and deliver a controllable power band that fits many sport and scale builds.

Design Advantages of a Wankel Engine

Because the Wankel layout has fewer moving parts than a piston engine, it typically runs smoother and quieter. The two needle bearings and a ball bearing secure the rotor and add stiffness to the assembly for predictable behaviour in flight.

Output, Displacement and RPM Notes

This unit displaces 0.30 cu in (4.97 cc) and produces 1.27 hp at 17,000 rpm, with a practical operating range of 2,500 to 18,000 rpm. These figures translate into useful thrust for a variety of flying tasks when paired with appropriate props.

Installation Choices and Intake Benefits

Installers can angle the muffler to suit cowling layouts or clearance constraints. The Venturi style intake helps deliver stable airflow to the carburetor, supporting consistent mixtures across throttle settings.

The O.S. Engine 49-PI Type II .30 Wankel Rotary Engine is a compact solution when you need smooth, lightweight power. Its installation flexibility and dependable running suit a range of small aircraft projects.

Yes, its compact size and smooth output make it a good option for scale and sport models where space and vibration control matter.
Verify prop balance, secure mounting, correct muffler orientation and initial needle settings. Run a ground tuning check with the chosen propeller before taking off.
Regular inspections after every few flights are recommended to check for fuel residue, secure fastenings and bearing condition. Follow normal glow engine servicing routines.
The muffler can be repositioned but any replacement must match the exhaust port and not restrict flow. Use parts that suit the engine flange and maintain clearance to airframe components.
