Finishing & Running the 2 ROTOR Wankel RC!

  • The process of joining two O.S 49 PI type II engines, has come to its end!
    Apart from a bad start and a broken rear counterweight, everything went well. The engine at the moment, is working at very rich settings to prevent any overheating and it will be leaned out gradually.
    Also there are some leaks that need to be addressed, but other than that, the engine starts right up, idles perfectly and has incredible throttle response considering the rich settings.
    It took me a while to finish it and the result is very rewarding.

    not surprised the motor broke, most of it seems to be built with guesswork and lack of knowledge in mind, next time try researching your projects and building from there.

      @@stevedunn854 I don't disagree that the rotor/plate failure was a blunder. 👍 I still take the broader view that the channel owner's general skill set, which is plainly evident in all of his build videos, is such that it shouldn't be unthinkingly dismissed out of hand (which is the tone of Alexander's comment). A simple mention of the rotor/plate issue, or even a gentle critique, would have been the correct and diplomatic approach here. It's instructive to consider that JohnnyQ90 could have edited out this particular event, but he didn't. His long-established M.O. should guide our corresponding feedback.

    You certainly did a beautiful job machining all the parts for this twin rotor. It turned out very nice. I was looking at your cooling fins knowing these motors run very hot. Then i realised the amount of fuel you put through the engine provided the additional cooling. I used to run a Mazda RX8 rotary but it only manged 45000 miles before requiring new apex seals. Would be great to see your engine installed in an aircraft.

    Nice, brings back memories. Back 25 years ago I built an RC plane with this engine, the OS Wankel 4.9cc / 0.3 ci (single rotor). It ran and flew well, made good power, but it had to run rich which is not efficient, and with glow fuel this is messy. My first one gradually lost compression and stopped running after a year or so, despite careful initial breakin and running it rich. OS sent me a new one under warranty. Despite its limitations, it was a unique and fun engine.

    Terrific project! Congratulations. I love these little OS Wankels and have two of them. One thing, a propellor, in addition to providing the rotational momentum like your flywheel, also functions as a radiator fan to push air over the fins on the engine to cool it. Your IR camera didn't show things to be too bad, but in the long run that may be a problem. I suppose you could use an external fan for bench running.

      The rear rotor and housing is in a draft shadow AND if intended for an enclosed under a car shell and used at high rpm (14,000 is a pointless operational rev anyway) it won't last long.

To brake in a nitro engine in cold weather you need to block off all it's cooling fins because otherwise it'll never get up to operating temp, and that's running the engine with a load, sometimes running it wot for a few seconds at a time. In a car it would need a cooling duct and fan to run with a proper tune but these engines don't need a ton of cooling like gas engines do. I don't know about this engine specifically, but I've seen os rotary engines rev out to 25-29k before (unloaded). Most nitro engines can rev in excess of 30k rpm and some can rev over 40k.

      Just a straight pipe would be the best option. Wankels LOVE a free flowing exhaust.
      Edit: He is also using the 2-stroke pipe as a means to pressurize the fuel system and deliver fuel pressure to the carb. Without the pipe on it he would need to design some sort of fuel pump, which wouldn't be easy. With the current exhaust and pipe, it acts as a rather linear, RPM referenced, fuel delivery system(more fuel pressure as the RPMs go up). Not easy to replicate the same kind of fuel delivery system without using a pressure tap on the tuned pipe.
