OS FP/LA -.15 Carb
Hello All,
I have an OS .15 FP that's about ten years old. I bought it as the "stunt" (venturi only) version and it has performed well on a couple of control lineplanes it's been on.
I had thought about using it on an R/C plane but they don't sell that model carburettor for it anymore.
If one looks at the current OS LA .15 and compares it with the FP series.15's, they look nearly the same. The Bore/stroke is identical as is the mounting width/hole spacing etc.
Tower Hobbies sells parts for the LA including a carb. I would not be suprised if the newer carb could just be bolted on to the FP's case and a remote needle valve added. The two carbs are of a different OS number but I suspect the only physical difference between them is the remote versus attached needle valve set-up.
Does anyone out there have both of those motors and can tell me if the LA's carb will fit the FP's case? I could just buy a carb and needle valve but hate to spend the money if for some reason it won't fit.
Thank you very much for any replies, I'll check back later after work.
Robert
