RE: 1/2A Combat engine ?
It would be perfect as long as the needle valve can shut down the fuel flow all the way. Power would be similar to what the high performance 049s producealthough at lower RPM. The 1/2A combat models use a pressurized fuel tank made from thin walled surgical tubing to give steady uninterrupted fuel flow. Take the time to look up bladder tanks on the web (basicly a high pressure balloon made from surgical tubing) and look for the couple of videos online that show how a bladder tank works. Again you could get some really good help from the yahoo groups.
