OS FT-160 Gemini Twin-Cylinder DISCONTINUED!
Is this more signs of the decline of glow/nitro? This makes me sad. I have one that I’ve been running for 17 years on a SIG Rascal 110. Best running engine I’ve ever had. Anyone aware of the reason OS has for this? For now it looks like the 320 is still available.

OS 160T maintenance
Greetings from Michigan,
I too am a fan of the 160T - since you have run yours for so many years successfully would you mind sharing your maintenance program for the engine? I have owned one for several years but have never flown it as I've been worried about how to take good care of it between flying seasons. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Craig

Craig, nothing special really other than after run lubricant. A little in the carb, remove the plugs and little in the cylinder. Spin it a few times while the plugs are out. Put the plugs back in, just finger tight. Remove them occasionally and give it few spins. Just remember to tighten them up before cranking.
