RE: DZ Tuning
Brian,
Have you had any troubles with your 160 or just getting it running now? All that we ususally do is set the needle about 2 for the first couple of runs. Then just adjust from there. By the end your needle will be around 1 1/2 turns to 1 turn. I have even heard of some being out only 7/8. You also have to be careful when adjusting the pump pressure as it wil mess with your needles. The pump press adjustment is basically your idle adjustment. If you have any questions please let me know.

RE: DZ Tuning
I got an Impact. I build like a turtle though, had it since last october and Im just now getting it done. Which is probably a good thing since some of them were breaking, so I put a crutch and former in the tail. Got the ES pipe and NMP header, hope it all works good.
What props are you liking on the 1.60?
What plane are you flying this year?

RE: DZ Tuning
Brian,
On the 160 I like to fly the 17x12 which is pretty much standard or if you like slow flying try the 15.5x12 4 blade. That prop is pretty sweet on a calm day.
This year I got a couple new genesis from chip.

RE: DZ Tuning
Brian,
I expect to have the first one done in about 2 weeks. I am doing the first one electric and the second with a 160. It will be a toss up of which one I want to fly as they both have extreme amounts of power but I really like the way that the electric does not vibrate at all.

RE: DZ Tuning
Are you using the Hacker setup?
I'll probably try an electric pattern plane next year. I was impressed with Jasons Impact at the Nats. He seemed to loose the least speed in the upline snap. This might have been his technique but he wasnt lacking for power.

RE: DZ Tuning
Brian,
I am using the Hacker setup. I am still waiting on airplanes or a motor mount that I can use to retrofit a exsisting plane. I have 2 10s3p packs and am looking for a 10s2p pack with about 5200 mah. When finished you are more then welcome to fly my airplane.
