Otto Bernhardt TD 15 Special Ignition engine
Took a few detailed pictures of the TD 15 Special ignition conversion I just got today. The timer casting is very well made as is the points and spring. It looks to have been run with the conversion but not much. It will need a need carb body and some detailing.

The timer casting and points arrangement on this is the best I have seen.

What prop-size would these be able to take?

I like the recess job on the prop screw.
I'd also be curious to know what prop is used.

The TD 15 likes an 8x4 but with the gasoline conversion I don't think it turns as much RPM. Not sure as I have never run one of these conversions. I'll have to ask on the old timer section on RC Groups.

That looks a lot of fun Jason.
Take a look at the new YS CDI's then
try and get that thing to run spark+glow fuel.

That turned out beautiful Jason!
Now that you have yours I might have a chance at getting the next one that comes along.
I used to have one of Otto's OS conversions.

Re: Otto Bernhardt TD 15 Special Ignition engine
I am selling on eBay a large collection of engines for the widow of a good friend of mine recently died. One engine is a COX with ignition. It has a tag that has written COX TD .09 BERNHARDT CONV. The only thing I can find about Otto is a conversion of a COX .15

Not seeing any pictures! I can see the O.S. So not sure what’s up with that. Probably on my end.

The pictures above appear to have been removed from whatever host Jason used back in 2014.
Re: Otto Bernhardt TD 15 Special Ignition engine
Doh! I didn’t look at the date. No wonder it sounded familiar.
