Mike

can you post some OS 1.60 installation pic's?

it will be very helpful to me....

thank's in advance

I'd be happy to oblige, except I just replaced the 160 with a 140RX and didn't take any pics of the previous installation [

However it's fairly straightforward, but you have to get creative in positioning the pump so the vent hole is down and the arrows point in the right direction. Also if you use a hyde mount, make sure to mount your main needle on the airplane, not the engine itself.

I couldn't get what I wanted out of the 160. It definitely has more power, but if I wanted to mess with an engine that much, I'd have bought a YS. Hehe.

So, time to rebalance and fly it again. On the bright side this plane is now under 10 lbs!!! And that's with retracts!!!
