OS Car engine for 15 carrier
« on: March 21, 2011, 10:55:56 AM »
Ran across this on Towers site and wondering if anyone has ran one in 15 carrier. Looks to be a pretty hot little motor..

I was helping a local guy get started in 15 carrier, and he had one of these. It was better than a 15 FP or LA, but for the price I was disappointed. The guy pretty much came and went so we didn't get the opportunity to see the engine's maximum potential, but I was not really impressed with what I saw.

The os 15cva is a great motor!!! I have not used one for c/l but for r/c they are nice. A mac header and tuned pipe
will really wake them up. Just ordered a venturi and nva to see if i can convert it to c/l,was thinking a jr. flitestreak for it. It should really haul with it.  John.

Wondering what other choices we have, it's almost a full ounce lighter than a Magnum 15 and 115.00 is allot better than a 300.00 Nelson. I did get some impressive numbers from Bob Z. on the Brodak 15 he tested, like turning 8-6 Master Airscrew at 12,000 but not sure if this will be typical.

While looking at those last week I noticed that the car version's specs are very much more impressive than the aero version's specs.
