Default Remote needle vavle modification

Just thought I would share my latest little project. I needed a remote needle valve (radio adjustable) for a OS91 heli motor with a pump and regulator. Getting to the needle valve in the cowl would be a pain.

Turns out that the BVM remote needle valve has the same threads for mounting as the OS needle valve housing. So after a little lathe work on the BVM valve and a modified dubro heavy duty control horn, I was able install the new valve on the motor.

Hopefully in the next week I will be able to test run the set-up. Now that the weather is nice, I am scrambling to finish a model I've been working on for 2 years (the shame is that is an ARF I am working on).
