Power and Practicality from the O.S. Engine 72FS-a

The O.S. Engine 72FS-a builds on the strengths of earlier FS-a series engines such as the 56FS-a, 81FS-a and 110FS-a. Its four-stroke layout and blow-by internal oil design remove the need for a standard crankcase, which helps cut down routine maintenance without sacrificing durability.

Features That Simplify Mounting and Tuning

This version includes a reversible 61N carburetor and a narrower camshaft housing to ease installation in tight cowlings. The supplied F-5030 muffler can be rotated a full 360 degrees to suit different exhaust routing and to tune the audible character of the engine.

Suitable for Diverse Flying Styles

With a practical RPM envelope of 2,400 to 12,500 and a power output of 1.2 hp at 11,000 rpm, the 72FS-a serves sport flyers and scale builders alike. Improved machining tolerances mean fewer adjustments and more reliable service intervals.

Specifications

  • Displacement: 0.719 cu in (11.8 cc)
  • Bore: 1.063 in (27 mm)
  • Stroke: 0.811 in (20.6 mm)
  • Weight w/muffler: 18.7 oz (530 g)
  • Practical RPM Range: 2,400-12,500
  • Output: 1.2 hp @ 11,000 rpm
  • Includes: 61N carburetor, F-5030 muffler & F glow plug

The O.S. Engine 72FS-a is a pragmatic pick for modelers wanting a robust four-stroke that is easier to fit and maintain while delivering authentic engine notes in flight.

Start with a prop size that matches similar .60-class engines and follow O.S. guidance; validate peak rpm and cooling during ground runs before first flights.
The blow-by internal oil recirculation reduces external oil loss and mess, but you should still check oil and plug condition regularly to ensure normal combustion and lubrication.
The 72FS-a's mounting footprint is compatible with common .60-size layouts, and the narrower camshaft housing helps when fitting inside tighter cowl designs.
Follow O.S. recommended break-in fuel and running cycles, monitor temperatures and plug color, and perform incremental runs to seat rings and establish a stable idle before heavy flying.
