If you have a OSFP .20 or.25 for R/C (Radio Control) you can easily convert them to use for Control Line. Just simply orderf the parts from Towerhobbies.
Why use an OS .25 instead of .35 or .40. For most control-line models that were originally designed for a Fox .35, the OS .25 is a better replacement. If fit closer to the same engine mount spacing, has roughly the same weight and is more powerful. Instead of running and big 10 X 6 propeller at 8700 to 9200 rpm, you can run a 9 X 4 or 10 X 4 at ~1100+ on the OS .25 I've use this engine with a APC 10 X 3 on an over weight Banshee (42 oz) and it pulls is a lot better that my previously installed Fox .35.

| Insert the Remote Needle Nozzle. On older O.S R/C engine with out the remote needle valve, you can replace this with a ST Needle Valve assembly. It require a slight over bore, but it work very well for C/L. |
Now you have a OS .25LA Control Line Engine! |
