well it finally happened... I'm slapping together an ARF that I CANNOT get the fuel tank even CLOSE to the carb centerline. In the past I've ran into this problem and fixed it by adjusting the tank height or side mounting the engine... no joy on this plane... SO I'm stuck with what I know will be nothing but engine troubles or I pump or regulate(Cline or Iron bay) the engine... only other option is buy a YS 63... seems the plane was built around this engine.

I'm not really thrilled with buying a new YS when I have a perfectly good saito 72 sitting on the self that will fly the poo out of this plane... if the damn tank was the right height. I've never had the need for a pump like the perry VP-20 or regulator like the Cline or Iron bay. Considering the tank will be over 1 inch above the carb centerline what would be the better option... pump or regulator? any major draws backs using either system? I have more than enough room to mount either according to the instruction... I'm just not sure what the better system for my problem would be.
