So what tank should I use, the YS is pressurising the tank pretty good?
And the best prop, I used a Zinger 11x7 1/2 for break in.
I'm a YS fan and think it would be a good choice too... [8D]

I've had a few of these engines over the years and I always run an APC 11x6 for break in to let it turn up a little...That's just my preference..

I'd recommend using a good quality tank (dubro ect..)...What ever tank you choose I recommend wrapping it with some fiber reinforced packing tape or high quality duct tape (a trick I learned many years ago and do it on all my YS engines)...

I really like the pressurized fuel system and find the throttle response of the YS 45 to be linear and very consistent...Starts with a back flip of the prop (in my climate..he he)...It's a great engine...

I recently put a new YS 45 FR in a Oxalys 50 pattern trainer and am very pleased that it does such a nice job on that airframe...I just got it flying before I had to go out of town for work...When I get home I'm going to try some different prop's and plan on running an APC 12x6!!! I think it will turn it fine and my goal is to slow the plane down a bit but maintain or improve the vertical authority it has now...The YS 45 is an impressive engine and I think it's going to work out fine but we'll see...

Good Luck with yours!!
