Default 3M Mintor 140 and 170 2-stroke from Italy

Ok I'll bite on this one. The others are known quantities and rather plug and play. Using the standard you can easily get help and borrow parts from your buddies. This comes in very handy the Thursday before a contest. You will probably have difficulties fitting the Moki into a lot of 2M plane without a lot of modifications and a custom exhaust. Tuning the pump and exhaust will also be up to the user. In the US not much support for Moki's.
Could it be done? sure. Will it take some effort on the part of the user? Absolutely. I prefer to spend my time flying.
Eric Henderson had a great article in KFactor on setting up an OS 1.60 with a pump and a off the shelf wrap around header making a great pattern setup for around$450 complete.
