O.S. Engine OSMG1160 FT-160 Twin Cylinder RC Powerplant  [OSMG1160]

Strong twin-cylinder performance from the O.S. Engine OSMG1160 FT-160

The O.S. Engine FT-160, identified by model OSMG1160, brings a twin-cylinder option for pilots wanting both performance and scale sound. It upgrades the FT-120 II platform with a 15% increase in power output, making it useful for heavier 1/4 scale aircraft that require more thrust and a realistic engine note.

Advantages of twin-cylinder operation

Compared with single-cylinder units the twin layout in the FT-160 yields reduced vibration and a smoother torque curve, which aids precise control during aerobatics. The dual-fire sequence also produces a fuller, more authentic engine soundtrack for shows and fly-ins.

Operational characteristics

Built to deliver usable power while remaining reliable, the FT-160 has a displacement of 0.809 x 2 in and a practical RPM range of 2,000-10,000 rpm. Its rated power is 2.0 hp @ 10,000 rpm and the engine weight is 38.8 oz, giving a good balance between output and mass.

For experienced modellers wanting a realistic sound and dependable power for 1/4 scale subjects, the FT-160 is a robust option that balances performance with scale fidelity.
