RC plane engine OS MAX 15 Converted to gasoline

A true piece of art. Oh yeah...

[@larryhoskins5524]

Wow!That is the smallest gas conversion I have ever seen,should be a very rare engine,should be great in an old timer,lucky you captain Blaz.

[@oldfart43311]

Oops, I had to come back and give thumbs up.... I appreciate you two so very much and your acknowledgement of our comments. I would love to come visit and see your country …. Tight line is really something when you see a master fly ., just wow.. Thank you

[@elpunto231]

oldfart43311 thanks for kind words...

[@dmrcflyr2]

Very cool engine! Yes, John is one hell of a guy! Have fun with that.

[@elpunto231]

David McIntire yes he is!!!oh i will ;)

[@johnkelinske1449]

Glad it survived the trip over! The conversion was done about 1980 by Otto Bernhardt. I hope the RC carb will clear the timer. You will have to pull the CL venturi out to install as I am sure you know. Have fun with it!

[@johnkelinske1449]

The carb was hard to find, came from a friend up in Kentucky. It is new, but he didn't have the packaging for it. It was free too!

[@JoshWeaverRC]

John Kelinske. Videos like these are getting me closer to putting up an internal combustion engine. Going today to pick up a fiberglass fuse Spitfire. Very nice motor John. Very cool.

[@elpunto231]

Thanks again for this masterpiece of an engine..i can already see it on a plane...

[@1unaffiliated1]

I was thinking if the timing arm is too close to the carb, you could shorten it or make a new set screw for it...Won't know until you get it running...

[@johnkelinske1449]

You are most welcome, me too!

[@VintageTechFan]

I need one, too! At least I need to see it run! Where is the video, it has been over 2 years! ;)

[@survivalmike]

Wonderful Gift.....You definitely deserve it. Cheers, Mike

[@elpunto231]

survivalmike oh thanks!!!!

[@gorace71]

Great gift John. He acts like a 10 year old went he gets these things. Robert will we ever hear one of these gift engines run?

[@johnkelinske1449]

It makes me happy to see other modelers happy.

[@direktorpresident]

Converting to gas:- Heavier, runs hotter with less power and needs battery in flight. All of the things that made the gas fliers of the 1950's ditch it for glow. What a strange world

[@stevebarr9604]

Hey I have a new Fox 35 stunt engine that I bought back in the 70s if you would like to have it! I don't fly control line planes anymore but you can adapt a carburetor to it!

[@thebug4046]

Very cool man

[@erinclark7658]

That is a Beautiful engine never seen one like that before

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

I hope that Captain Blaž will test it soon my friend.

Congratulations for receiving another fine engine for your collection, Flight Engineer Blaz! :)

[@elpunto231]

xKmotx thanks...it is a nice add to my lovely engines...

[@richardstaccone1927]

Very Nice!!!

[@elpunto231]

Richard Staccone oh yes!!!

[@williamahchan1484]

Wondering if the RF noise from the coil and spark will interfere with the radio reception.You guys ROCK!!!!Thanks for all you do!!!!Maui LOVES you guys!!!You boys have the ALOHA SPIRIT!!!!!

[@johnkelinske1449]

You can get around it fairly easily, plus the new radios are nowhere near as sensitive to it as even radios back in the 60s and 70s were.

[@williamahchan1484]

thanks John I'm a ham operator and understand how to suppress rf noise with ferrite chokes and antennae placement!just would'nt want ANYTHING to happen to that BEAUTIFUL engine and a/c because of signal loss!!Aloha from maui!!!billy

[@johnkelinske1449]

You got it! I think you put like a 10 ohm resistor in the circuit between the coil and the plug but I'd have to go look at the drawings again to be sure I have that correct.

[@williamahchan1484]

Mahalo!!!!!We do have a GREAT R/C worldwide community!!!!!!

[@Neurotripsicks]

Nice Robert! I have been flying 3D plane. I fixed my YAK. I recorded a flight, it is fun. Do you like 3D planes?

[@elpunto231]

Neurotripsicks oh nice....no i like scale flying and slow ;)

[@Neurotripsicks]

Blaž Petrinčič nice. Have you subscribed to my channel my friend?

[@elpunto231]

Neurotripsicks i did now ;)

[@michaelhelfand8773]

Oh captain Blaz, you struck gold with that box! Great gift, but the best gift of all was the ORIGINAL box that the coil came in. Dont throw the box out. That's very cool. And of course the motor is pristine too! can't wait to see it fired up.

[@elpunto231]

Michael Helfand yes all this is very old and has no price for me...it is like big diamond to me!!!

[@HondAttila]

I saw the same style converted saito open rocker but missed it. You are lucky with this one. Hope to see it running soon!

[@elpunto231]

HondAttila yes as soon as i have time!!!

[@angelreading5098]

What an unusual engine conversion,never seen the OS.15 made into a petrol motor before ?

[@elpunto231]

Angel Reading yes it was my first time to....

[@georgeschichtle8667]

what a gem of an engine!

[@danyel9256]

This is really special !!! Especially the vintage ignition coil 😙 Enjoy my friends !

[@elpunto231]

[@gunnerears]

[@elpunto231]

gunnerears yes it is..i have heard that is almost imposible to get it...

[@USNVA11]

Very nice engine Captain Blaz. It’s a mechanical work of art ! Looking forward to seeing some of your new engine acquisitions flying at your RC field very soon ! 😃 Cheers ! 🍻

[@elpunto231]

[@elpunto231]

JetTech Don hello brother....yes it is veri interesting engine....and it will fly one day...

[@petergoodwin2465]

That's an amazing engine. I had a lot of Os 15s when i was a kid. Very good engines but I've never seen one converted to gas. Cant wait to see this beauty running. Thanks for showing us this.

[@elpunto231]

Peter Goodwin this old engines are very very good...i cannot wait to try it...

[@arielmatozzo2744]

He must be on the phone looking at glow engines lol.another good video thank you boys.

[@elpunto231]

Ariel Matozzo yes i was...🤪

[@marto2200]

So close to run I can smell the burning fuel and oil. Can't wait to see this beauty running and one day a maiden flite

[@elpunto231]

Stephen Martin yes i cannot wait to...

[@matthewbrothers2823]

That is one of the coolest things i've ever seen. Cant wait to hear it run!

[@elpunto231]

Matthew Brothers yes me to...i hope i will have time soon to try it

[@3DMOFO2020]

Cool little engine looking forward to seeing it in action on test stand and in the air in a plane guys!

[@elpunto231]

Pro Bro Cueball! Yes me to!!!!

[@scottfirman]

Something I didnt know about thats for sure!I bet David McIntire has one eh? I wouldnt know how to thank John for something like that. It is very cool. The amount of work that went into comming up with that design had to be amazing. I saw on line where someone was converting another engine to spark, but Its nothing like that. I think I saw it on You- Tube somewhere.Nowdays anything is possible but back then, it was stone knives and bear skin technology. Lol. Imagine setting that up in 1940 while finding out Pearl Harbor was being attacked. Mabe even being out at the airfield already, getting your plane setup to fly and one of your buddys comes up and says he hears it on the radio on his way to the airfield. Amazing!

[@elpunto231]

RC Hobbyist Extreme i dont think that he has this kind of engine becouse he film only glow..and he is the best in this!!! Yes John is very very kind person... and this engine is very beautiful made...

[@scottfirman]

Blaž Petrinčič I bet if he had one ,he would test it out for us. Cant wait to see it run.

[@MarioVerkerk]

Wow, this is great stuff! Please show us the test run in the future! :D

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Oh yeah Mario, we will test this engine first and run it in before Captain Blaž will put it on a plane... Cheers my friend, Robert

[@goriverman]

Can’t to hear that puppy run.

[@elpunto231]

River oh yeah!!!

[@dementia0090]

John is a great guy. A beautiful engine. What a jewel to have and put in your museum Capt. Blaz!!! It is great to have brothers! Houston is just down the street from me, 244 miles south, worlds largest petroleum refinery and NASA! WooHoo Have a great day you two! Ricky

[@elpunto231]

dementia0090 yes this engine belongs into museum but i will put it on a very old model and fly it...

[@johnkelinske1449]

That is one reason I sent it, your late friend's model is a work of art.

[@elpunto231]

John Kelinske oh thanks..he was very good builder....and plane Dr.Duh is perfect for it...

[@nikkato7096]

Can I please have a salute Captain Blaz for Nikko, Courtney and Henley!! Oh Yeah

[@elpunto231]

NikkoRC yes i will do it ;)

[@nikkato7096]

Thank you Captain Blaz.. We look forward to that.. Regards

[@tonyl9516]

[@elpunto231]

[@elpunto231]

Danny Helton yes very nice..yes i will film all..

[@125saito]

It's a beautiful and very interesting little engine. I can't wait to see it run. I was wondering what the fuel to oil ratio is for this little baby.

[@elpunto231]

David Breckenridge i think after some teading on net 3:1 mix is ok

[@SubToTripleThreatRC]

That is very cool, I can't wait to see it run. Thumbs up boys! Cheers from Canada!

[@elpunto231]
