Starting and Running a Vintage OS MAX H 40 P. Model Airplane Engine

Great engine, just bought a very good example on eBay for £15, superb! Looks good in your video. Best regards, Paul.

You did well with your purchase. WOW! That's a great price.

I just bought another OS Max 40P off eBay, this time for £10 and it is like new in it's box. What fantastic engines these are and no one seems to know it! Thanks to you I spotted these superb OS engines after watching your video. Many thanks!

i found an old 40 like this in the woods from a crashed plane. could you look at my video and tell me about it?

I think the head gasket is leaking

Thanks for that! I can see it too now at the very end of the run. Right?

The bubbles are a tell tale indication. I think you will surprised at how well it runs when its fixed.

Thanks again! It should be an awesome runner then because, it runs so well with the leak. Amazingly well for a 43 year old engine that didn't get well treated by its owner (me).

Check out my .20 RC video, brand new just barely broke in , it is on the front of my Mustang.

Hi I've got an old O.S. 40 and I was wandering what fuel you are using

Used 10% nitro Glow Fuel.(10% Nitro-methane, 70% Methanol and 20% Castor oil)

Geez, Nice example of letting and engine run lean til it damn near dies.

Beautiful sounds
