Masher Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hi Since Martin W is asking for ideas regarding his 26cc engine, please can I get some for my OS 20FS four stroke. I've been given a very little used engine and am struggling to find something to put it in. Data seems scarce on this engine so I assume it wasn't around for long? I'm not really into vintage stuff but perhaps this is the best application for it? Any ideas please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A Flair Attilla is the ideal model for that motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks lf but I have previously owned a Magnatilla and currently have a Puppeteer so need something different really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott finnie Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Type os20 sterling mambo into Google. I had a mambo and it was a great pre work aircraftScott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks scott, that's a possible - and the plan is on Outerzone too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott finnie Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 No problem . Its something different though sweet, simple and robust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Christy Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'll second the Flair Attilla. Mine flew beautifully on an OS20FS, despite the extra weight of the aileron modification. In fact, I have another one awaiting its turn on the building board for this excellent little motor....... But if you want to mount it inverted (recommended for this model), make sure you reposition the tank onto the floor of the fuselage. -- Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Wood Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 A few of the smaller Pegasus kits have 20fs stated in their engine range - the Wizard & Wasp would probably be quite sedate on a 20fs. There's also the Micro Star & Fiesta trainer. Agree about the Attila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braddock, VC Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My pocket!!!! in the best possible taste, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks Richard. Braddock, it may well be that this won't be used by me. Trying to find a model for it has so far not inspired me. I have a plan for a Matador which would suit but not something I feel like spending time on - no pleasing some people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levanter Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Try to find a partner for it. A pair of FS20s will sound fabulous. Build a Peter Miller Grumpy Tiger Cub light and away you go. Peter put two SC15s in his and said it was plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 David Boddington did a nice little plan for a model called Excellence Masher, fly great John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yes I like that John - I had wondered what my Mini-Jazz would be like with the 20FS in - the Excellence has similarities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I built it when it was a free plan Masher, no vices cheap n cheerful John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masher Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Any idea what issue that was John, I'd rather try and get a a back issue as I'm not a fan of MyHobbystore's plan prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john stones 1 - Moderator Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Long time ago Masher 80's maybe, not sure which mag either, some one must have it tucked away though I don't have mine any longer sorry John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Davis Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Nice ff design by Vic Smeed called Ethereal Lady. Just strengthen the wing structure a bit for R/C. Or a Mini Telemaster like the one I'm holding in this picture!! Edited By David Davis on 28/01/2015 17:41:06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Z Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Masher, would you be interested in something like this? I have designed it recently, and I am building it right now. If all goes well it will be a kit available from RBCkits. I have named it the WIGGO. (No, not after a famous UK cycling champion, but "wig" is the Dutch translation of wedge. "Go" speaks for itself). Span is 880 mm. I has been designed for electrics, but a little four stroke would equally suit it I think. Max.
