When it comes to designing engines expressly for the F3C competition,
the OS pedigree goes back a long way. That experience and the never
ending quest to produce the best engines in the world, has culminated
in the new Max 91HZ Ring.
With improved hovering stability as well as greater power at high
speed, the new Max 91HZ meets and exceeds the extreme demands of today's
complex F3C competition manouevres.
The new design piston and crankshaft brings reduced vibration to
provide improved and more stable torque over the entire RPM range.
The rectangular, heat-sink head is designed to be completely enclosed
inside the helicopter fan shroud for better cooling in a fully enclosed
body. The black 'alumite' finish with O.S. and 91HZ logos imparts a
distinctive image for this latest engine in the OS competition
helicopter lineup.
An integral back plate heatsink improves crankcase cooling as a result
of that extra power. This, and a thermo insulator installed on the
carburettor mounting spigot, helps shut out engine heat to the
carburettor, which in turn ensures a stable fuel/air mixture.
A needle control lever with O.S. Engines logo is supplied with the
engine as standard since it is widely used in the F3C competition when
in flight adjustment is required
