RE: US 120 Lite and a OS FT-300
TFF,it's already had a G-38 and CRRC40 on it.When I got the airframe I cut the firewall back about three inches,so I don't think it will be nose heavy.The FT-300 is lighter than the G-38,not much lighter/but still lighter.I think this engine will be easier on the airframe too!!!It's smooth as silk. Thanks for the input Jim.

US 120 Lite and a OS FT-300
I'm putting a OS Ft-300 on my well worn US 120 Lite and I'm kinda worried about ground clearance.Would a 18x12 MAS prop be enough prop for this combo?Anything over a 18" prop is pretty close to the ground. Thanks for any advice Jim.

RE: rubber bands for wing hold
A #7 drill bit is the correct size for tapping 1/4-20 threads if you go by the book,but everybody just uses a13/64 bit. Later Jim.

RE: OS engines users Club
Morning all I've got a question;I bought a OS 300 and it's on ignition(CH Ignitions) does anyone have picture of how the three leads are hooked up?I know one goes to the sensor,and one goes to the battery,but where does the third one go?This may be off topic but I've searched everywhere I could think of,and the CH ignitions site is down. Thanks in advance Jim.

Just an update guys,started my engine yesterday,and it ran great!!!Ran it with no muffler,very loud but a good loud.I'll probably buy a Mac's adapter plate and muffler.It started on the first flip(hand start)with the original plug that was installed in 1984. Thanks for all your help Jim.

RE: OS 40 FSR
Thanks guys when you said clones I remembered that I had an old TT42 and its rear crankcase gasket is just what I needed.Now I have a couple other problems which way does the arrow on top of the piston point towards the exhaust port or towards the intake port?Also the flat sealing side of the head has a machined "dimple"on it does it have a certain way it goes?I took this engine apart about twenty years and one move ago so the old memory is kind of foggy.
