I have purchased a nib Rossi .65 rear exhaust ducted fan engine from a friend. It has no instruction manual with it, however. I am new to jets and plan on putting it in a Regal Eagle. I have gotten the feeling that Rossi's are a difficult motor to master. I've noticed posts that Rossi .91 motors work better with an OS carb. I have also read that in jets a remote mixture control is needed, something else I am unfamiliar with. Does this apply to the .65 as well? Does anyone know what size carb I should use if a carb replacement is needed or can someone tell me the way to tame the Rossi carb?

Well, tomarrow I am going to the Toledo show and would like to inquire as to what I will need to make this thing work without frustrating the heck out of myself. What type of fan should I use? What about pipe and fuel source? Cost is an issue, but not an overwhelming one, I want something that works and is reliable. I'm not concerned about all out speed or anything with this my first jet, just something that works and I can grow from with.

I know its a big list at such late notice, but I only found the motor wanting a home this week and have been out of town so it isn't something I have been able to plan out or research as well as I would like.

thanks in advance for your help
