Default RE: Converting RC engines to Control Line

I'll second that for a profile. The needle valve on an RC carb is generally a lot higher than a CL needle valve which means it's then closer to the centre line of a strap on tank. Another advantage is that the usual RC carb is way too big even when used for RC at the revs normally turned so you can fiddle with the idle stop screw to set the barrel opening to get the best compromise between power and fuel draw.
