Default Bladder tank for a Reed valve?

Will a low pressure bladder (I know baloon tanks will work) run on a reed valve motor?

I want to try the Cox product engines on a latex blader, like I use on my 1/2a combat airplanes. Will the reed induction work properly with a bladder?

Dave, I did it last week with a metal backplate engine and it worked OK. It was one that I had hogged out the air intake on, so the fuel pressure was pretty easily gobbled up.

They'll run fine even with a high pressure thinwall latex surgical tubing as well. The fine thread on these style engines works well with bladders.
