rc aircaraft engine????

An engineering marvel
Here's another O.S. "first"-the first rotary engine for R/C models. The O.S. .30 Wankel produces tremendous horsepower for its size. In addition to being compact and highly power efficient, the .30 Wankel is smooth-running and quiet. It includes two needle bearings and one ball bearing. It's perfect for .25-.35 applications. The engine includes an expansion muffler and a glow plug.

Yah But it burns alcohol and nitro with a little castor oil thrown in.

COOOL

I want one for my weed whacker

Damn! Now I want an 18,000rpm red line in my RX-8!

9,000rpm is just so slow ;)

They sell for around $400 if you can find one from 1985

You can still order them!

Someone has put one in an RC car. It was a custom built one that looked just like the 787B LeMans car. The link was on the RX-7 forum sometime last year.

Go to www.towerhobbies.com and search for "OS Wankel" and you'll find it. I think it's around $340.
