Wally:
I’l agree with Ron on this one, but the most important point is inverting the plane to get your initial settings.
I get the impression the engine is new, and ha not been run in. If this is the case4 you’re not going to be a happy camper at all until the engine has an hour or so on it. And the best thing would be to pull it off the plane and do the run-in on a stand.
YTou should not need a regulator to make it run well.

Jett:
Carrying a camera you will probably be much happier with the FA-82. Being a larger engine with just about the same weight you naturally have more vibration with the larger engine, but at part throttle you wont have any amount more than with the FA-56 running at a higher setting. In either case a GRP mount, Dave Brown or similar, will do the job.
Neither one is more reliable when properly set, that’s a non-issue.
