Default Pump You UP

I don't have experience with that particular engine, but after flying pattern with YS engines I came to rely on some sort of pressure fed fuel delivery system. The three most common types are the YS, Cline demand system, and the Pumped systems like OS and Perry. Regardless of which you choose, they tend to make the engine runs extremely consistent. You come to depend and rely on the power being there all the time, no matter what the fuel level is above empty. If you 3D, it's worth it in my opinion. All of my profiles have a Cline, and almost all gassers use some sort of fuel delivery system. Advantages vary from tank placement to avoiding lean runs, to just plain old consistency. If nothing else, try one and see how you like it
