As I understand there will be a second version at a later date that will be composite with a two piece wing?

I am pretty much sold on the the current version,...told myself I wouldn't do first runs anymore,...but I don't think it will stay at this price for long. Plus,...Fliton has a good reputation,..so it's not like it's an unknown risk. As I understand, the Element 170 has undergone lots of R&D to get it to this point.

Well,...time to go and push the order button!

What specs are you looking for that were not already covered in the previous posts? There is even a brochure included on Post 60.

I got 8 gallons of cool power 30% in June at the local hobby shop.
You should ask in LA area shops. If you could not find it.
I still have 7 gallons of them. I able to sell to you.

Status: offline 		Guys ... I have never set up a 2x2 before and may I know what I will need to mount the engine and pipe? I mead I read that you need the nose ring etc. I have a YS160 with a Hatori pipe so what else do I need to mount all this onto a plane like the Element 170 where it already has the beam mounts built in. Thanks!

I put in my order today and I will now pray for a speedy delivery ... I shall fast even!

Status: offline 		Yeah ... I seen the nose ring and that little damper that comes with it. So it just bolts onto the beams. I got the old pipe, a long narrow one of about 18" long and 1.25" in diameter with the flexi header. It does come with all the mounting bits too. Time to start buying some stuff ... Thanks a lot guys!

ps my YS160 comes with the clunk, HS needle and a grub screw, what is the grub screw for?

I always thought the little grub screw was for the needle valve to hold an extension wire.


I guess you learn something new everyday.

I have NIB 63FZ-S with this little grub screw too. Where can I get a Velnturi Stack for this engine? Those stacks look so cool.
