Model Plane with early O&R 3/4HP Compact engine

Recommended Posts

This may be of interest on here, a vintage model plane with an early Ohlsson & Rice 3/4HP engine, the wingspan is 7ft, the engine is SN 007860 dating from around 1961.

The only replacement parts I can see are magneto coil and a complete later carb primer assembly & needle valve, the original side mounted needle valve has been blocked off. As it has been converted to RC control with a servo & cable for the carb throttle control, the redundant governor vane has been removed too.

David,

  Cool - I contacted this seller weeks ago to let him know that he had an O&R on there. I recommended he realist it with O&R so that maybe he could get a bit more interest.  It’s a neat plane but too much $$ for me.

The market is also going to be limited to people that are near enough to collect it from Salinas in California.
