Small Package, Solid Performance O.S. Engine 15CV-A

The O.S. Engine 15CV-A, known by its model number OSMG0715, adapts a trusted small motor for aircraft use. With an aircraft-style cylinder head and rotary carburetor, it is intended to give consistent response across a wide rpm range for sport and precision flying.

Robust Mechanical Layout

The key engineering points on the O.S. Engine 15CV-A include front and rear crankshaft bearings for improved power delivery and reduced wear. The remote needle valve keeps tuning safer on the ground and makes fine adjustments easier at the field.

Output Figures and Usability

Housed in a blue crankcase, this engine produces 0.50 bhp at 18,000 rpm and operates usefully from 2,500 to 19,000 rpm. That output suits a variety of light aircraft where smooth throttle control and reliable climb are needed.

  • Stroke: 13.7mm (0.539")
  • Output: 0.50 bhp @ 18,000rpm
  • Practical RPM: 2,500 - 19,000rpm
  • Weight: 170g (5.99oz)
  • Crankshaft Size: 5mm
  • Mounting Dimensions: Various (see details above)

The O.S. Engine 15CV-A is a pragmatic choice for pilots who want a small, tunable glow engine that handles both sport flying and aerobatics. Its design keeps routine maintenance straightforward while delivering steady performance.

Carry out a staged break-in with several runs at varied throttle settings, using a richer fuel mix to ensure bearings and rings seat properly. Follow the manufacturer guidance for duration and plug checks.
The engine ships with a #A3 glow plug. Use that as a baseline and consult plug charts if you encounter leaning or starting issues in different ambient conditions.
The supplied #871 muffler is compact and suits many sport cowl designs, but check clearance and mounting dimensions against your airframe before final installation.
Common pairings for aerobatic and sport flight are in the 8 inch diameter range with pitch 4 to 6. Start with those sizes and adjust based on measured rpm and climb behaviour.
