Heli pilots who demand huge power and performance for their helicopters can rest easy. Everything they’ve been waiting for is now available with the O.S. 105HZ and 150HZ-R engines! For 90-sized machines to nail huge aerobatic or 3D maneuvers, it’s all about power. Both of these engines deliver. Displacement has been increased by 15% – and they still fit in a .90-sized mounting pattern, retaining famous O.S. quality.
- Both feature the displacement of a 1.05 in the mounting space of a .90.
- More displacement means more power – and these engines boost displacement by 15%!
- The machined, blue anodized heatsink head is lightweight and provides efficient cooling.
- An extra feature on the 105HZ-R is the pressurized DRS (Demand Regulator System), which ensures consistent fuel flow regardless of the heli’s attitude.
- Velocity Stack to increase airflow and enhance engine performance.
- Ideal bore/stroke ratio to minimize vibration; no need for gear ratio changes.
- Backplate accepts the Futaba BPS-1 RPM Sensor for the GY701 and CGY750
- PowerBoost pipe engineered to be the perfect partner for the 105HZ and is sold separately
- On 15% nitro, the 105′s run as strong or stronger than 91′s using 30% nitro

Regarded by many as the most formidable of all WWII American fighters, the F4U Corsair has had a rich history. It was a versatile, carrier-capable aircraft that provided excellent air and ground support. Recognizing the distinctive engine sound caused by wing-root inlets, Japanese ground troops nicknamed the fighter “Whistling Death.”
For every Corsair lost in Pacific theatre battle, this agile warbird took down eleven enemy planes. Now, R/C pilots can rule the skies at their flying field with the new Top Flite .60-size F4U Corsair ARF – a model that combines Gold Edition™ engineering with easy ARF assembly!
- Built-up and sheeted wood construction.
- Operational, multi-section flaps are incorporated into the distinctive gull wing.
- Recessed gauges on the instrument panel add scale realism to the cockpit.
- Pre-hinged ailerons and flaps reduce assembly time and effort; hidden rudder and elevator linkages enhance the plane’s scale appearance.
- Flat-finish MonoKote® covering and decal set help this ARF stay true to the look of a combat-tested warbird. The fiberglass cowl, tail access panel and belly pan are painted to match.
