Dave,

Can you program your radio to turn off the smoke pump (or only activate above 1/2 throttle)?

Oh sure! Aerosplat never told us THAT little detail about tuning the 1.60! Great! Now I have to worry about my pilots head popping off from all the power............ too bad for them! HA!

I wish. It'd be too late (dark) by the time I leave the office and get up to the field.... gotta love San Diego traffic!

MC130 has got me excited about tuning this thing. There is nothing like...

Good to hear, Dave! My luck hasn't been so good yet. VERY windy today, so we scrapped any flights. Oh well. Next chance is only 7 days away.... unless I call in sick?

Thanks Aerosplat and Krazy.

That is pretty much what I had heard and planned on doing, but Aerosplat has explained it very well. Thanks!

I'll report back after this weekend. Take it easy.

O.S 1.60FX Owners. Post your tach readings

Finally got my Extra out this weekend and ran it with the Mejzlik 18x6. It was turning 9600 with 10% Performance Plus.

The engine still runs like crap, IMO. Lots of mid-3/4 throttle transition...

Anyone running 10% fuel? I ran mine with 10% a couple of weekends ago, but didn't get around to putting my tach on it. Didn't seem much different.

Ran my 160 with the pump this weekend. MUCH better although I still need to get the needles tweeked a bit. It was a little rough during transitions.

I only got one flight, though. My landing...

pics of pressure nipple install

Ok, so I'm impatient. I got an idea about using a "zert" fitting and tapping that RPM sensor hole.

Here is the install. Very easy. Buy a 1/4-28 threaded grease fitting. Drill out the innards...

I thought of an idea for drilling out the top left bolt and thought you all might like to hear it.

When you drill out the bolt hole, be sure to put a small piece of metal tubing in the hole. ...

Another FYI,

I got an answer from Bill about the shouldered hole in the bottom of the backplate of the 160FX. It's for the RPM sensor. He says since there is no fitting to fit that for a...

Thanks Skypilot.

I'm really confused as to why some people with the same set up have such drastic differences in performance. So far though, the consenus seems to be the pump fixes the problem.

I am having one hell of a time with this 160FX. I know it's a muffler pressure problem, but I hate having to screw with it.
