Power and Authenticity from the O.S. Engine FT-300

RC aircraft builders looking for convincing scale sound and steady power will appreciate the O.S. Engine FT-300. As O.S.'s largest horizontally opposed flat twin, this unit is designed to lift 1/4 scale models while keeping a compact footprint and refined running character compared to typical chainsaw-style gasoline motors.

Precision engineering that matters

The FT-300 reflects O.S. Engine's focus on accuracy and durability. With a displacement of 1.488 x 2 inches and a 1.323 inch bore, the engine produces up to 4.0 hp at 7,000 rpm and operates well between 1,800 and 9,000 rpm. Weighing 64.5 oz, it balances power and manageable mass for practical airframe fitment.

Advantages of the horizontally opposed twin

The opposed twin layout reduces vibration and improves throttle smoothness, giving a more scale-like feel in flight. Standard inclusions such as a glow plug, firewall mount and a dedicated propeller locknut assembly help simplify installation and ensure stable performance.

Specifications

  • Displacement: 1.488 x 2 in
  • Bore: 1.323 in
  • Stroke: 1.083 in
  • Practical RPM: 1,800-9,000 rpm
  • Power Output: 4.0 hp @ 7,000 rpm
  • Engine Weight: 64.5 oz

The O.S. Engine FT-300 suits experienced pilots who prioritise authentic running behaviour and robust output for 1/4 scale projects, delivering refined performance without excess bulk.

Because of its opposed twin layout, the FT-300 runs with noticeably less vibration than typical single cylinder gasoline motors, which helps protect airframe fittings and gives smoother instrument readings in flight.
Use the fuel type and glow system recommended by O.S., and ensure secure fuel lines and a reliable glow driver. Many builders pair the FT-300 with a quality glow igniter and heavy duty fuel tubing for consistent operation.
The FT-300 includes a firewall mount and its 64.5 oz weight and dimensions are compatible with many 1/4 scale designs, but always check clearances for spinner, cowl and tank location before final installation.
Routine checks include inspecting the glow plug, cleaning external surfaces, confirming mounting bolts are tight and verifying the propeller locknut assembly. Keep the carburettor and fuel lines free of debris for reliable starts.
