Default Propane gas flow regulators.

Gents,

Altacarerc and Dreamworks both sell a gas fuel flow regulator. The idea is that this small valve in the plane is used to set the propane flow to the engine during starts. That way the propane flow setting stays in the plane/engine rather than in your memory and the valve on the propane bottle. One just has to open the valve on the bottle to say 1/2 or 3/4 turn open and the little valve in the plane takes care of the final setting to the engine to start. A bonus that the setting is with the plane when you have several turbines.

Anyone use on of these valves? Good, bad, great idea, Any Feedback?

Thanks,
Dave
