That looks so cool. I'd love to own one of these, but I'd hate the stress of worrying about crashes. RC trucks are much more likely to survive hitting a tree. ;)
CreatorHunter There are plenty of airplane enthusiasts who feel the same way about RC cars. Too many things to crash into on the ground, lots more space up in the air. It all depends on what sorts of problems you're more confident you can avoid.
CreatorHunter I've talked to several online. They're usually older, and they know how to fab parts for airplanes from scratch using wood, glue, and heatshrink. Fabbing parts for cars from scratch requires at least a 3D printer, and more likely a machine-shop if plastic parts aren't going to be strong enough, so you're pretty much stuck buying pre-made parts -- at a healthy markup, of course.
I used to live right next to a rc fly club and every one there's very helpful bassicly if ur new to the hobby they buddy you transmitter for example they plug two together the more experienced pilot takes full control so he will tack off and land but when he is up high and your ready to have a feel he will press a toggle switch on his remote and then ur remote will have full control, any think bad happens they will take back over But I went through a few but when ur in that club some one is all ways selling something I got given so much stuff for free old stuff but it still worked and saved me a lot of up front costs
It's a valid concern. Every plane I've owned and flown I've crashed eventually. Usually repairable but eventually they get "retired". They all have an expiration date. That being said, it's an awesome hobby! I took a ten year hiatus and getting back into it
Sounds like mad mikes mazdas lol plus the rotary is amazing I own an rx8 and by far more exciting than the piston engine a 1.3 231 bhp that's technology thanks to Felix wankel never forget where is came from at the very beginning :)
Don't run it past 3k rpm when it is cold. I sold my rx8 ( regret it) :( still have my rx7 :D if you want your engine to last long, you should look into premix for the fuel. Helps lubricate the engine directly when you have the oil and fuel already premixed.
Cool stuff. The way the engines would slightly fade in and out of sync was interesting. By the time they get broken in, it may be time to replace the seals.
I have an OS Wankel on an old 'Blue Max'. It runs super nice and really winds up. They are real gas pigs though. Lots of power but lots of mess too. I love mine.
Beautiful, great job, thanks. Built a U control B25 with twin .049 cox once. Adapted a Guillows kit beefed it up. Flew great. Yours kicks that way way up. understand the satisfaction. Those OS engines are super!
The OS wankel looked absolutely great behind a scale cowling . I had one in a simi scale AT-6 . Was going to put 4 in my B-17 but at just over 600 bucks kinda put the hurts to this project . At 1 1/4 HP per motor they were powerful but drink gas like a 60 . Still looked pretty cool even with a custom made exhaust I made .
Hello Bruce ,I believe these are the MK1. Had to run the top end 1000 rpm from peak to keep cool resulting in a rich idle (don't atttempt flight at near peak rpm) . Also had pressure nipple on custom muffler/ pipe that may effect idle as well. Big tank is a good idea as these are thirsty monsters. Thanks for viewing
mate, that is bloody awesome, I have never seen a roll on a go a round before. I have the same VQ A26 with a couple of ASP 4 bangers and also a os Wankel in a edge 540. You rock !
Is that the VQ A26? Have some spare MkII OS Wankels and looking for a twin to use them. Originally was going in a Kyosho PBY Catalina, but would be too much for that model - it flies well on two SC 12's. Imagine 2 OS 30 Wankels!
Very nice plane and great flight but man our safty officer would have your head on a platter at our field if he saw you reving those engines with you in front of it, you always stad behind your plane when reving engines, commen safty sense
Just the airframe. I dont need motor- servos-radio etc. How much for just the shell? It is going to be hung as a static display for a Friend of mine that flew A-26's. needless to say he is pretty old now And I've been looking for one for a while. I live in the San Fran bay area. :-) thanks for the reply!!!!
Hello. thanks for viewing. The exhaust was fabricated from copper tubing. Normally this copper would break from vibration but these engines are exceptionally smooth running with very little vibration. The performance was enhanced a bit as this exhaust was less restricted than the original mufflers (and a bit louder). These motors have one downfall being that they are very thirsty for fuel. The rotary .30 does however turn an APC 9x6 prop near 16000 RPM making it as powerful as most .40 cid nitro motors. Good luck with your DC 3 (put big fuel tanks in it)
+KiwiPowerNZ It's uneducated comments like yours that have given the rotary engine an undeserved bad name, they are a brilliant piece of Japanese engineering, a fantastic & unique engine that puts out a heap of power from a small capacity & proven reliability as shown in the many long distance races that they have been entered in & so many times have won
Mazda wankels are driven hard as hell by every 16 year old that can get behind the wheel. The engines are not notoriously short lived, the drivers notoriously rag the shit out of them. They do drink oil like crazy, but that is by design.
Cool. I'm planning to use these engines on a DC-3. Question, which you've utilixou out the exhaust? And tested with the original furnace and the exhaust changed to know if there was a difference in the quality of service or loss of power?
Good skills bud, what size fuel tanks are you using? and which model wankle are they? I have just finished setting up a GP fun fly Corsair with the mk 1. It has no fuel pressure nipple on exhaust, and the carb is pretty basic- no idle mix or the trumpet that the mk 2 has. I changed tank to 10 oz- this may have been OTT. Cant seem to get a reliable low idle. Thanks for posting
what happen if one engine die in mid air! Does the model lose control and crash?? I have been wanting to have a twin engine but I'm very apprehensive that the pull of one of the engines would literally make it crash! I'm not that experienced on this kind of emergencies!
You get asymmetrical thrust. If you're going fast enough, the rudder will have enough authority to make the plane fly straight. If you slow down, not so much--you get a snap-roll toward the dead engine. So slow at high power is right out. Most people that fly RC twins just lower the throttle and land, simulating a dead-stick landing, if one engine dies.
Their Throttle response is spectacular.
It's amazing how well those engines are phased
I'm 4 years late but,
that's an awesome sounding wankel! Specially on idle
I am 4 more years late but,
that's still an awesome sounding wankel!
That looks so cool. I'd love to own one of these, but I'd hate the stress of worrying about crashes. RC trucks are much more likely to survive hitting a tree. ;)

9 ppl disliked this sweet ass rc bird..?????? jealous or ...? how could anyone dislike, confused.
+Jimi Harper because there are Democrats and Obama supporter.
+Rasmy Sengsourya haha
Stuff em all, big or small lol ;-)
Ouch
Nice job! It's surprisingly direct in terms of response. You were flying it like an airforce pilot, good work.

When I grow up, I want to be just like you! AWESOME flight on my personal favorite of planes.
This is the only video where a Wankel rotary engine has ever been presented as a useful form of propulsion.
m'kay
Shite b8 m8 I r8 1/8
superbe le bruit des rotatifs!!!! beau vol, bon pilotage stable et fluide!!!

You rock !
Those little motors can crank out One horsepower each.. I saw one at a hobby shop years ago. At idle, they sound like motorcycle engines..Way cool.
SKILL... Good job! Beautiful ROTARY sound the way it was meant to be heard!
Surprised that plane didn't split in two.
those Wankles sound amazing!
Flying doritos of doom
😂
Amazing. 5 yrs late, but If I could, I tried little bigger propelers.
im making my own combustion engine plane, I learned how to make the engine, now to attach a propeller to it and wings!
Insane twin Wankel sound...and what a power!! Great clip!!
Really good job flying it, I enjoyed watching it, thank you.
This is a Wankel Engine. Awesome.
Its not an amazing plane with excellent engines, that was an awesome plane's drive 😎😎😎
awesome !
and beautifully flown Captain !
Gives me leave to wonder what a pair of these would do on a RC Dornier 335
This looks like a great engine for ducted fan applications.
Dont get why they discontinued these... they are epic!
Rotary engines..Way cool!! They look and sound sweet. They are certainly making that plane boogie too.
That's freaking awesome
That sounds so awesome!
Really cool! I didn't know they made wankels for rc. They sure have a distinct sound to them. :-)
Best RC plane ever!
Cool plane - definately not lacking power!!
I'm glad you had your steel capped socks on....
pretty darn cool man wish I had a you like that
Awesome plane! The twin wankles seem to bne perfect for it.
Simply Awesome!
thats a decent sized plane… would one of those be sufficient for a 71" spitfire ??
plane goes braapp braapp stu tut tu
Great sound at idle.
Very Nice friend. I look two of this engines new or used for one peojevt my. Do you know who or when I find those engines for buy? Thanks
that's awesome, I just love the sound of the twin engines
yes. RPM around 16000.
Awesome plane and engines too
Awesome power
Very Nice. I need two of this engines for mount in my DC-3. I still look but don't find to buy
Am building one myself I want try it on a bigger aircraft
@z3 k
I'd look for a pair of RCV engines 4 cycle with built in 2:1 gear reduction scale size prop with a huge pitch
@@russcole5685 those engines was original made with reduction with RCV? I never heard
@@RBAERO ruclips.net/video/Pax8_kOVDhY/видео.html
Great piloting skills!!
I found another contender for Nemesis Prime's Deceptobot army.
Damn, I'm loving it, badass sounding lol
Is that the VQ A26?
Have some spare MkII OS Wankels and looking for a twin to use them. Originally was going in a Kyosho PBY Catalina, but would be too much for that model - it flies well on two SC 12's. Imagine 2 OS 30 Wankels!
Looks like it
Nice sound
You came up with a great match!
Very nice plane and great flight but man our safty officer would have your head on a platter at our field if he saw you reving those engines with you in front of it, you always stad behind your plane when reving engines, commen safty sense
awesome phone , it flew like a dragon fly
thats awesome! great landing too!
So Awesome!!!

Love that sound!
Very nice plane! Question. What is the material of de escape made for these Os wankel???

Glow meaning a glow plug is used ,not a spark plug. Methanol / nitromethane fuel is used not gasoline. Standard model engine fuel. Cheers
Great video! Thank you!
Mazda wankel engines are notoriously short lived. I wonder how well engineered these are. I'll look these up at home.
false. short lived in the hands of someone who knows nothing about them and run with no oil. my 12ais running strong at 350k original miles ;)

How are the propellers started....what is that device used to start propellers
VQ isn't it? Those engines sing :-)
very cool
I wonder if 2 would work on a bicycle
That thing flies more like a jet fighter then a twin engine..
Dude that is seriously cool - Still cant understand why the Wankel doesnt dominate as the preferred power source for planes.
Heat and fuel consumption mostly, they’re like a candle that burns brighter for less time
Not sure if he knows his ear protectors are on upside down or not -.-
just awesome

11 out of 10
that soundS a lot like a 13B got that rotary brap
love it and great work!!! love my RX8 :)
perfection
Awesome !
That thing can scoot!!
Lovely!

oh by the way I used to fly models and you are suppose to stand in front of the elevator when you rev that... for safety reasons...
Fucker looks fast too, zoom zoom!
Nice
dou you have one wankel for sale or some parts like the rotor and the rotor housing
DORITO PAWERED
Super...
sounds awesome
One engine would fly it but not very well.
can you give me a call I need your help with the OS 30 Winkle motors
ther sound good!
Idles like 2 RX7's side by side lol
Good
What props? And how much does your model weigh? Thinking of these for big PBY I have. Awesome job!
I thought that was a black widow night fighter.
Bit of throttle control please,most unscale flying,
what happen if one engine die in mid air! Does the model lose control and crash?? I have been wanting to have a twin engine but I'm very apprehensive that the pull of one of the engines would literally make it crash! I'm not that experienced on this kind of emergencies!
