Checking my JR TX, it is limited to 5 point curves. Lonnie suggested that would work.

My personal position however is that conversions are working for me without remote metering and that likely because of not being too fussy about midrange.

Currently the following spark ignition and gas conversions are flight ready on fleet planes.
  • Saito 182 T
  • Saito 180
  • Saito 125a
  • Saito 100
  • Saito 90TS
  • Saito .65
  • Saito .30 (two)
  • OS .52 Surpass (converted and tested to install in a 48" that is near build completion)
The only failure to convert was an Enya 120 4s. The air bleed idle mixture couldn't lean the idle enough, though it might have been possible to achieve success by enlarging the air bleed. I stopped short of doing so because another good choice gas engine existed for the plane.
