SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS ABOUT YOUR O.S. ENGINE

Remember that your engine is not a "toy", but a highly efficient internalcombustion machine whose power is capable of harming you, or others, if it is misused. As owner, you, alone, are responsible for the safe operation of your engine, so act with discretion and care at all times. If at some future date, your O.S. engine is acquired by another person, we would respectfully request that these instructions are also passed on to its new owner.

The advice which follows is grouped under two headings according to the degree of damage or danger which might arise through misuse or neglect.

WARNINGS

These cover events which might involve serious (in extreme circumstances, even fatal) injury.

NOTES

These cover the many other possibilities, generally less obvious sources of danger, but which, under certain circumstances, may also cause damage or injury.

•

Never touch, or allow any object to come into contact with, the rotating parts.

Model engine fuel is poison-

•

ous. Do not allow it to come into contact with the eyes or mouth. Always store it in a clearly marked container and out of the reach of children.

Model engine fuel is also

•

highly flammable. Keep it away from open flame, excessive heat, sources of sparks, or anything else which might ignite it. Do not smoke or allow anyone else to smoke, near to it.

WARNINGS

•

Never operate your engine in an enclosed space. Model engines, like automobile engines, exhaust deadly carbonmonoxide. Run your engine only in an open area.

Model engines generate

•

considerable heat. Do not touch any part of your engine until it has cooled. Contact with the muffler (silencer), cylinder head or exhaust header pipe, in particular, may result in a serious burn.

NOTES

These engine were designed for model

•

helicopters. Do not attempt to use it for any other purpose.

Mount the engine in your model securely, fol-

•

lowing the manufacturers' recommendations, using appropriate screws and locknuts.

Install an effective silencer (muffler). Frequent

•

close exposure to a noisy exhaust (especially in the case of the more powerful high-speed engines) may eventually impair your hearing and such noise is also likely to cause annoyance to others over a wide area.

Check the linkage to the throttle arm before

•

each flight. Avoid sudden high r.p.m. immediately after the

•

engine is started, as the clutch will engage and you may be struck by the rotor.

After starting the engine, carry out any needle-

•

valve readjustments after stopping the rotor by closing the throttle to the lowest r.p.m.. Stop the engine before attempting to make other adjustments to the carburetor.

Use an electric starter. The wearing of safety

•

glasses is also strongly recommended. Press the rotor head down securely.

Take care that the glow plug clip or battery

•

leads do not come into contact with rotating parts.

Adjust the throttle linkage so that the engine

•

stops when the throttle stick and trim lever on the transmitter are fully retarded. Alternatively, the engine may be stopped by cutting off the fuel supply. Never try to stop the engine physically.

Take care that loose clothing (ties, shirt sleeves,

•

scarves etc.) do not come into contact with the rotor. Do not carry loose objects (such as pencils, screwdrivers, etc.) in a shirt pocket from where they could fall through the rotor disc.

For their safety, keep all onlookers (especially

•

small children) well back (at least 20 feet or 6 metres) when preparing your model for flight. If you have to carry the model to the take-off point with the engine running, be especially cautious. Hold the rotor securely and keep well clear of spectators.

Warning! lmmediately after a glowplug-ignition

•

engine has been run and is still warm, conditions sometimes exist whereby it is just possible for the engine to restart when turned over WITHOUT the glowplug battery being reconnected. Remember this if you wish to avoid the risk of accidents.

NOTES

INTRODUCTION

The MAX-46FX-H RING is a highperformance engine that has been developed expressly for "medium-sized" radio-controlled helicopters.

Note:

Because of initial tightness, a standard electric starter may have difficulty in rotating the engine when cold, before it has been adequately run-in. In this case, use a high-torque type starter. DO NOT, however, confuse tightness with the symptoms of hydraulic lock caused by an excess of fuel within the cylinder - often the result of overpriming. Attempting to force the engine to turn over in this condition may cause internal damage. Instead, remove the glowplug, invert the engine and eject surplus fuel from the combustion-chamber.

INSTALLATION OF THE ENGINE

The under-surfaces of all O.S. engine beam mounting lugs are precision machined flat and exactyly parallel to the engine's horizontal axis. It is essential that the engine mounts in the model are also accurately made and aligned. If they are not, they will cause stress and distortion within the engine itself, probably resulting in loss of performance and internal damage. The recommended screws for securing the engine to the engine mounts in the model are 3mm or 4-40 steel Allen type. It is also advisable to use lock washers or LOCTITE to prevent nuts from loosening.

CORRECT

Front view

Top surfaces are in the same plane.

INCORRECT

Top surfaces are not in the same plane.

Re-align the surfaces as necessary

Make sure that only the under-surfaces of the engine’s mounting lugs are in contact with the engine mount. If the crankcase body touches the mount, chamfer the edges of the mount.

Side view

Top surfaces are not in the same plane.

Engine does not rest firmly.

INSTALLATION OF COOLING FAN

As supplied the MAX-46FX-H is equipped with a conventional drive hub, keyed to flats on each side of the crankshaft. However, some helicopters require this to be replaced by a taper collet for cooling fan installation. Fit this as follows. Rotate crankshaft to TDC. Remove drive hub and thrust washer. Slide taper collet onto 3/8-in. dia. front journal with its slot uppermost-i.e.along the full diameter of the journal NOT passing over the gap formed either side of the flats. It is not necessary to replace the thrust washer.

Tools, accessories, etc.

The following items are necessary for operating the engine.

1 Fuel

Model glowplug engine fuel of good quality, preferably containing a small percentage of nitromethane.

2 Glowplug

O.S. No.8 glowplug is installed in the engine.

3 Glowplug battery

The power source for heating the glowplug may be either a large heavy-duty 1.5volt dry cell, or preferably, a 2-volt rechargeable lead-acid cell .

1.5 volt heavy-duty dry battery

or 2 volt rechargeable lead-acid cell (at least 5Ah)

If a 2-volt cell is employed, use a resistance wire, as shown, to reduce applied voltage, otherwise element will overheat and burn out.

Warning (Very hot)

Never touch the nichrome wire while the battery is connected.

FACTS ABOUT GLOWPLUGS

Since the compatibility of glowplug and fuel may have a marked effect on performance and reliability, it may be worthwhile to choose the R/C type plug found most suitable after tests. Recommended O.S. plugs are No.8, A5 and A3. Carefully install plug finger-tight, before final tightening with the correct size plug wrench.

The role of the glowplug

With a glowplug engine, ignition is initiated by the application of a 1.5-volt power source. When the battery is disconnected, the heat retained within the combustion chamber remains sufficient to keep the plug filament glowing, thereby continuing to keep the engine running. Ignition timing is 'automatic' : under reduced load, allowing higher rpm, the plug becomes hotter and, appropriately, fires the fuel/air charge earlier; conversely, at reduced rpm, the plug become cooler and ignition is retarded.

Glowplug life

Particularly in the case of very high performance engines,

glowplugs must be regarded as expendable

However, plug life can be extended and engine performance maintained by careful use, i.e.:

Install a plug suitable for the engine.

•

Use fuel containing a moderate percentage of

•

nitromethane. Do not run the engine too lean and do not leave the

•

battery connected while adjusting the needle.

When to replace the glowplug

Apart from when actually burned out, a plug may need to be replaced because it no longer delivers its best performance, such as when:

Filament surface has roughened and turned white.

•

Filament coil has become distorted.

•

Foreign matter has adhered to filament or plug

•

body has corroded. Engine tends to cut out when idling.

•

Starting qualities deteriorate.

•

FUEL

Select, by practical tests, the most suitable fuel from among the best quality fuels available in your country for helicopter use. For the best throttle response, a fuel containing 10% to 30% nitromethane is preferable. Lubricants may be either castor-oil or a suitable synthetic oil (or . a blend of both) provided that they are always of top quality. For consistent performance and long engine life, it is essential to use fuel containing AT LEAST 18% lubricant by volume. Some fuels containing coloring additives tend to deterriorate and may adversely affect running qualities. If in doubt compare to a fuel known to be good.

Reminder!

Model engine fuel is poisonous. Do not allow it to come into contact with the eyes or mouth. Always store it in a clearly marked container and out of the reach of children.

Model engine fuel is also highly flammable. Keep it away from open flame, excessive heat, sources of sparks, or anything else which might ignite it. Do not smoke, or allow anyone else to smoke, near to it.

CARBURETOR CONTROLS

With a fixed-wing model, power failure is rarely a serious threat to the safety of the aircraft since it can usually glide down to a safe landing. In a helicopter, on the other hand, it is vitally imporant that the engine keeps running and that there is a quick and reliable response to the throttle in order to ensure safe ascent and descent of the model.

Two adjustable controls are provided on this carburetor.

The Needle Valve:

•

When set to produce maximum power at full throttle, this establishes the basic fuel/air mixture strength. This is then maintained by the carburetor's automatic mixture control system to cover the engine's requirements at reduced throttle settings.

The Mixture Control Valve (Mixture ControlScrew):

•

For adjusting the mixture strength at part-throttle and idling speeds, to obtain steady idling and smooth acceleration to medium speeds. The Mixture Control Valve has been factory set for the approximate best result. First, run the engine as received, and re-adjust the Mixture Control Valve only when necessary.

Throttle Lever

RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF MIXTURE CONTROL VALVE SETTING

In the course of making carburetor adjustments, it is just possible that the Mixture Control Valve may be inadvertently screwed in or out too far and thereby moved beyond its effective adjustment range. Its factory setting can be reestablished as follows;

Disconnect the throttle linkage by removing the

1. control rod from the throttle lever.

Fully close the throttle.

2. Turn the Mixture Control Valve clockwise gently

3. until it stops, while keeping the throttle fully closed. Do not over-tighten the valve.

Turn the Mixture Control Valve 2-1/2 turns counter-

4. clockwise from the above position. This is the basic (factory) setting.

STARTING

Be sure to use a muffler pressurized fuel feed. Use the same fuel as you intend to employ for actual operation of your model.

Opening and closing of the Needle-Valve

1. Turn the needle clockwise to

close the needle-valve, and turn the needle counter-clockwise to open the needle-valve as shown in the sketch.

Opening the needle-valve

2. Firstly, turn the needle clockwise slowly until it

stops. The position it stops is the fully closed position of the needle-valve. Make note this position for reference.. Open the needle-valve 2 turns.

Preparation of the starter

3. Install the starting shaft to the

starter securely. Poor installation swings the starting shaft, which is dangerous.

Open

Checking the rotating direction of the starter

4. Make sure that the starter rotates to the direction shown in the sketch. If the direction is reverse, reverse the leads on battery.

Inserting the starter shaft

Insert the starting shaft into the shaft cup securely.

Priming

6. Without heating the glowplug, open the throttle a little from the idling position. Turn the engine using the starter until the fuel is seen to reach carburetor.

Preparation of starting

Make sure that the transmitter throttle stick is at the fully closed position and the throttle trim at center position, and make sure that idle-up switch on the transmitter is off. Hold the rotor head by hand so that rotor cannot rotate when the engine is Started. Also, steady the model with a foot on the landinggear skid.

Starting

8. Connect the battery to the glowplug and start the

engine by applying the starter. When started, switch off the starter and withdraw the starting shaft after making sure the rotation of the starter shaft stops.

Stopping the engine

9. Fully pull down the throttle trim on the transmitter.

In case the engine does not stop.

Hold the rotor head, and pinch the silicone tube to stop the fuel supply. If it still does not stop, pull off the fuel tubing from the carburetor. It is necessary to readjust the throttle linkage so that the carburetor rotor is fully closed when the throttle stick and throttle trim on the transmitter are fully pulled Down.

NOTE: If the throttle response is poor or the engine stops due to a temporarily over-rich mixture immediately after the engine is started, pinch the fuel line for one or two seconds until the engine r.p.m. increase and the engine runs steadily.

Reminder!

Never touch, or allow any object to come into contact with, the rotating rotor.

RUNNING-IN ("Breaking-in")

All internal-combustion engines benefit, to some degree, from extra care when they are run for the first few times known as running-in or breaking-in. This is allows the working parts to mate together under load at operating temperature. However, because O.S. engines are made with the aid of the finest modern precision machinely and from the best and most suitable materrials, only a very short and simple running-in procedure is required and can be carried out with the engine installed in the model. For the first few flights with a new engine i.e. while the engine is being run-in set the needlevalve for a slightly rich mixture not excessively rich as this may result in poor throttle response and cause the engine to stope. About one-quarter turn open from the nomal setting will usually suffice.

ADJUSTMENT

The following adjustments are approximately correct when using a fuel containing 25% lubricant and 1030% nitromethane. Bear in mind that fuels containing relatively large percentages of power-boosting nitromethane operate at richer mixture settings than are needed for mild fuels and will, therefore, require the Needle Valve to be readjusted accordingly. The type and percentage of lubricant used is also a factor

here, as noted later in these instructions.

Open the Needle Valve 2 turns from the fully

closed position.(Be sure to use a mufflerpressurized fuel feed.)

NOTE:

This carburetor is not fitted with a throttle stop screw. Instead, idling speed is adjusted by means of the throttle trim lever on the transmitter. This enables the full r.p.m.

range, from idling to full power, to be controlled by the throttle stick, and then allows the engine to be stopped, from the transmitter, by closing the throttle completely with the trim lever.

Set up the throttle linkage as follows: With the transmitter throttle trim lever fully retarded, adjust the throttle servo linkage so that the throttle rotor is (a) fully open when the transmitter throttle stick is fully advanced and (b)

closed (i.e. engine stopped) when the stick is

fully

retarded.The idling speed is then set by

fully advancing the throttle trim lever to the point where the engine runs, steadily and reliably,at the desired idling speed.

As a safety measure, first check the transmitter

controls, including the throttle stick and trim lever positions, and hold the main rotor securely before starting the engine.

Warm the engine by allowing it to idle for about 30 seconds. If the engine stops, advance the throttle trim lever slightly to increase the idling rpm. Then open the throttle sufficiently to 'float' the model above the ground.

lf, at this time, the engine is slow to pick up and

produces an excess of exhaust smoke, the mixture is too rich. Correct this condition by turning the Mixture Control Screw clockwise. lf the mixture is extremely rich, engine rpm will become unstable : opening the throttle will produce a great deal of smoke and rpm may drop suddenly or the engine may stop. This condition may also be initiated by an excessively prolonged warming-up period.

lf, on the other hand, the mixture is too Iean, this

wiIl be indicated by a marked lack of exhaust smoke and a tendency for the engine to cut out when the throttle is opened. ln this case, turn the Mixture Control Screw counter-clockwise to enrich the mixture.

Turn the Mixture Control Screw 30 degrees at a

time. Having provisionally set the idle mixture, the next

step is to adjust the mixture for hovering flight.

Hover the model and actuate the throttle to

observe response over the medium speed range. lf the engine smokes excessiveIy and throttle response is poor, the mixture is too rich ; in which case, land the model and turn the Needle Valve clockwise. Do not close the NeedIe Valve too much, keeping it a little on the rich side at this stage.

lf, on the other hand, hovering is not stable and

response to the throttIe is over-sensitive, or if the engine tends to overheat, this indicates that the mixture is too lean and should be corrected by turning the Needle Valve counter-clockwise.

When satisfactory hovering flight has been achieved, land the modeI again and re-check the engine's idlling qualities.

After about 10 seconds of idling, open the throttle to 'float' the model. lf the transition is smooth, the idle mixture is O.K. If the symptoms of either rich or Iean running are Control Screw accordingly.

Now adjust the Needle Valve to achieve the best

performance when the model is flying at full throttle. lf, at full throttle, acceleration is poor, the

observed, readjust the Mixture

exhaust unduly smoky and the model fails to reach expected straight line speed, the mixture is too rich and the Needle Valve setting will need to be reduced. lf, however, after smoothly acceIerating to satisfactory high-speed straight and level flight, power is lost when the model is puIled up into a climb, the mixture is too lean. ln this case, land the model immediately and readjust Needle Valve to a richer setting.

Now re-check hovering performance and, if

necessary, fine-tune the mixture for hovering flight. For helicopters, good throttle response at medium

r.p.m. (e.g.hovering speeds) is most important, since this is a power range widely used in helicopter flight. The optimum fuel/air mixture strength at medium speeds is dependent on obtaining balanced adjustment of both the Needle Valve and the Mixture Controlof both the Needle Valve and the Mixture Control Valve. lf both controls are already at their optimum setting, some modification to these settings may be necessary to achieve satisfactory mid-range throttle response, but such readjustments should onIy be made within the range where idling reliability and highspeed performance are not unduly compromised.

Readjustments should therefore be carried out as follows:

lf the mid-range throttle response is not rapid and

positive (indicating a rich mid-range mixture), turn the Needle Valve 2 or 3 clicks clockwise, or turn the Mixture Control Screw 10-20 degrees cIockwise.

lf, on the other hand, the response to mid-range

throttle movement is too sensitive (indicating a lean mid-range mixture), turn the Needle Valve 2 or 3 clicks counter-clockwise or turn the Mixture Control Screw 10-20 degrees counter-clockwise.

Throttle response at hovering speeds is aIso affected by the reIationship of the main rotor pitch angle to throttle opening. If the optimum mid-range throttle response cannot be obtained by the carburetor adjustments described above, try adjusting the helicopter's pitch control characteristics.

SUBSEQUENT READJUSTMENTS

Once the engine has been run-in and the carburetor controls properly set up, it should be unnecessary to alter the mixture settings, except to make minor adjustments to the Needle Valve occasionally, to take account of variations in climatic condisitions. The use of a different fuel, however, particularly one containing more, or less, nitromethane and / or a different type or proportion of lubricating oil, is likely to call for some readjustment of the Needle-Valve. Remember that, as a safety measure, it is advisable to increase the Needle Valve opening by an extra half-turn counter-clockwise, prior to establishing a new setting. The same applies if the silencer type is changed. A different silencer may alter the exhaust pressure applied to the fuel feed and call for a revised Needle-Valve setting. The use of a different glowplug, or changes to the mainrotor and its pitch angles may also require compensating carburetor readjustments.

CARBURETOR CLEANLINESS

The correct functioning of the carburetor depends on its small fuel orifices remaining clear. The minute particles of foreign matter that are present in any fuel can easily partially obstruct these orifices and upset mixture strength so that engine performance becomes erratic and unreliable. It is recommended that fuel is passed through a filter when the tank is filled and that a good in-line filter is installed between the fuel tank and carburettor and, furthermore, that this filter is frequently cleaned to remove dirt and lint that accumulates on the filter screen. Finally, occasionally remove the needle-valve holder from the carburetor as shown in Photo and extract any remaining foreign matter that may have lodged in the location shown in Photo, right.

Remove this with an 8mm spanner

Dirt and fbrous matter mostly accumulate here

INSTALLATION OF THROTTLE SERVO

After fitting the engine in the helicopter, please observe the following recommendations when linking the throttle servo to the carburetor.

When the throttle is fully open or fully closed, the throttle lever angle should not be more than 45˚ either side of the mid-point of its travel (and where it is at a 90˚ angle to hte pushrod), otherwise throttle rotor movement may become inhibited or may even lock up. Also, some lubricants may affect the throttle rotor movement. Please note that the throttle lever angles of the O.S. Type 40C carburettor are well within these limits-requiring only 75˚ from the fully open to fully closed positions.

INCORRECT-One-way throttle lever movement should not be more than 45

Fully closed position

90˚

Locate the servo so that its output arm and the throttle pushrod are, as closely as possible, directry in line with carburettor's throttle arm, as shown.

CORRECT-Throttle lever movement should be disposed symmetrically,as shown.

90˚

Fully open position

Note : If differential throttle movement is required, make necessary adjustment at the servo output arm, not at the throttle lever.

Use outer hole.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The minute particles of foreign matter, that are present in any fuel may, by accumulating and partially obstructing fuel flow, cause engine performance to become erratic and unreliable. O.S. 'Super-Filters' (large and small)are available, as optional extras, to deal with this problem. One of these filters, fitted to the outlet tube inside your refueling container, will prevent the entry of foreign material into the fuel tank. It is also recommended that a good in-line filter be installed between the tank and carburetor.

Do not forget to clean the filters regularly to remove

dirt and lint that accumulate on the filter screens. Also, clean the carburetor itself occasionally.

At the end of each operating session, drain out any

fuel that may remain in the fuel tank. Next, energize the glowplug and try ot restart the engine to burn off any fuel that may remain inside the engine. Repeat this procedure until the engine fails to fire. Remove the glowplug and eject any remaining fuel/oil residue by rotating the engine with an electric starter for 4 to 5 seconds while the engine is still warm.

Finally, inject some after-run oil into the engine. Rotate the engine a few times by hand, to make sure that it is free, and then with an electric starter for 4 to 5 seconds to distribute the oil to all the working parts.

Note: Do not inject after-run oil into the carburetor as this may

cause the O-rings inside the carburettor to deteriorate.

These procedures will reduce the risk of starting difficulties and of internal corrosion after a period of storage.
