Thunder Tiger GP 07 ?
Wanted to know if there is some way to extend the needle valve on the Thunder Tiger GP 07 engine. I have it on a Ace Whizard and it's really tough to adjust. Anyone have any ideas?

RE: Thunder Tiger GP 07 ?
If you look at the end of the needle valve (the part you turn) you should see a small hole in the center and a small set screw on the side. A piece of 1/16" wire with an "L" on one end, inserted into the hole and tightened in place with the set screw (requires a small hex wrench ).
If for some reason there is no hole present, take a piece of brass tube that will just slip over the end of the needle valve and solder in place. I would not recommend holding it in place with fuel line tube or shrink wrap as it will allow the extension to move around too much.
Some people have taken a dremel and cut a slot (or "X") in the end of the needle valve and used a small screwdriver to adjust the needle valve.
