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.
2
•
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.
3
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.
4
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.

INTRODUCTION
The ringed-piston MAX-61LX-H, MAX61LX-HG(R) and MAX-61LX-HGL are highperformance, high-quality engines that
have been developed specifically for
radio-controlled 60 class helicopters.
They are ideal for scale and sport flyers,
for newcomers to 60 class helicopters and
for contest flyers' first-line or reserve
models.
These motors are produced by the world's
oldest and largest model engine design
and manufacturing company, a company
that has built more helicopter engines
than any other manufacturer worldwide.
Note:
Because of this 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 combustionchamber.

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 4mm or 6-32 NC
steel Allen type. It is also advisable to use lock
washers or LOCTITE to prevent nuts from loosening.

INSTALLATION OF THE CARBURETOR
As delivered, the engine has its carburetor lightly
fitted into its intake boss. Secure it as follows.
1.
Loosen the retainer nut, rotate the carburetor to its
correct position and press it well down into the
intake boss, compressing the rubber gasket as
shown in the sketch, before re-tightening screw.
2.

BEFORE STARTING
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.
8
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 .
If a 2-volt cell is employed,
use a resistance wire, as
shown, to reduce applied
voltage, otherwise element
1.5 volt heavy-duty
dry battery
or 2 volt rechargeable
lead-acid cell (at least 5Ah)
will overheat and burn out.
Warning (Very hot)
Never touch the nichrome
wire while the battery is
connected.
Battery leads
Adjust applied voltage by changing the position of clip on
resistance coil until glowplug element is glowing bright red.
Raise
voltage to
increase
brightness.
Lower voltage to
reduce brightness.

4 Plug wrench
Used for tightening glowplug. The
O.S. long plug wrench is available
as an optional accessory.
5 Battery leads
These are used to conduct current
from the battery to the glowplug.
Basically, two leads, with clips, are
required, but, for greater convenience, twin leads with special
glowplug connectors, as shown on
the right, are commercially
available.
6 Fuel bottle or pump
For filling the fuel tank, a simple,
polyethylene "squeeze" bottle, with
a suitable spout,is all that is
required. Alternatively, one of the
purpose-made manual or electric
fuel pumps may be used to transfer
fuel directly from your fuel
container to the fuel tank.

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
10
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, 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
5% to 30% nitromethane for the 60G carburetor is
preferable. The 60H carburetor is designed to use
less than 10% nitromethane fuel. 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. Select by practical tests when
experimenting such fuels.
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.
11
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.
12
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.
BASIC POSITION OF MIXTURE CONTROL VALVE
(Mixture Control Screw)
As delivered, the Mixture Control Screw is positioned
at around the center as shown in the sketch.
Mixture gets lean when the Mixture Control Screw is
turned right, while mixture gets rich when the Mixture
Control Screw is turned left. With a model helicopter,
adjustments vary with combined various factors such
as climatic conditions, fuel, muffler, main rotor,
weight of the model, gear ratio, etc. Therefore,
Mixture Control Screw position varies with each
model and set- up, and it is normal if the Mixture
Control Screw position is off the center.

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 1 turns.

reverse the leads on battery.
Inserting the starter shaft
5.
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.
7.
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.
13
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.
14
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
modle. For the first few flights with a new engine (i.e.
while the engine is being run-in) set the needle-valve
for a slightly rich mixture not excessively rich as this
may result in poor throttle response and cause the
engine to stope. About 1 turn open from the nomal
setting will usually suffice.
1
2
SETTING UP, STARTING AND ADJUSTMENT
Fit a conventional exhaust-pressurized fuel system
and select the same fuel as you intend to use for
flying the model.
A
Close the needle-valve, then reopen it 1 turns.
Open the throttle fully and rotate the crankshaft
with an electric starter until fuel is seen to reach
the carburetor inlet nipple.
Re-set the throttle stick to the closed position,
B
keeping the throttle trim lever in the advanced(i.e.
idle) position. Hold the rotor firmly against rotation
and start the engine.
Reminder!
Do not touch, or allow any object to
come into contact with, the spinning tail
rotor.
Warm the engine by allowing it to idle for about 30
C
seconds. If it stops, advance the throttle trim lever
slightly to increase idling speed and restart.
15
1
2
NOTE:
If throttle response is poor, or the engine stops on
restarting, due to a temporarily over-rich mixture,
first try pinching the fuel delivery tube for one or two
seconds when the engine is restarted, in the
expectation that the engine will pick up and run
steadily.
lf, at this stage, the engine is slow to pick up and
D
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
E
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 a few degrees at a
F
time.
Having provisionally set the idle mixture, the next
G
step is to adjust the mixture for hovering flight.
Hover the model and actuate the throttle to
H
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
I
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.
J
When satisfactory hovering flight has been
achieved, land the modeI again and re-check the
engine's idlling qualities.
K
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.
observed, readjust the Mixture
16
L
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, theexhaust
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 the Needle Valve
to a richer setting.
Now re-check hovering performance and, if
M
necessary, fine-tune the mixture for hovering flight.
For helicopters, good throttle response at medium
N
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.
O
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 2-3 degrees cIockwise.
lf, on the other hand, the response to mid-range
P
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 2-3 degrees counter-clockwise.
Throttle response at hovering speeds is aIso
Q
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
carburettor adjustments described above, try
adjusting the helicopter's pitch control
characteristics.
17
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 carburettor 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 Sketch and extract any
remaining foreign matter that may have lodged in the
location shown in Sketch.
Remove this with
an 8mm spanner
Dirt and fbrous matter
mostly accumulate here

INSTALLATION OF THROTTLE SERVO
After the engine in the helicopter, please observe the
following recommendations when linking the throttle
servo to the carburetor.
Servo output arm
Locate the servo so that its output arm and the throttle
pushrod are, as closely as possible, directry in line with
carburetor's throttle arm, as shown.
Throttle control rods A and B should be of equal length.
Set the linkage so that the servo output arm and throttle
arm are parallel when the throttle stick on the transmitter
is at its mid position. If differential throttle movement is required, make necessary adjustment at the transmitter.
20
Throttle arm
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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 carburettor.
Do not forget to clean the filters regularly to remove dirt
and lint that accumulate on the filter screens. Also, clean
the carburettor 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.
