Status: offline 		All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!

I bought one last Spring and am running it on a BalsaNova 120 weighing about 12#. It is sooooo user friendly. Never have to fool with it. I probably have about 5 or 6 gal. thru it. I think it compares favorably with the Moki 1.8. It has been a while since I tached it, but I think it was around 8200 with a Zinger 18 X 6.

BTW, I am using the stock muffler. Good Luck. Dale

Status: offline 		Have a 160 in my Sig Extra 300xs since this past March with over 100+ flights and the engine has been fantastic. Also using Zinger 18 x 6, 10% Performance Plus fuel, and a Bisson muffler. Running slightly rich which leaves a nice smoke trail and still has plenty of vertical power. Starts with one back flip of the prop except now with it being much cooler, 1st start of the morning requires some priming. Love this engine.

Status: offline 		I fly at half throttle until going verticle and the engine runs smooth. I use alot of throttle mangement from full throttle in vertical mode to complete idle in spins, etc and the engine responds perfectly. Haven't had a single "flameout"/deadstick since I got it.
