OS 160 FX ???

[Bob Pastorello]

First, make sure it isn't running too lean.  I recommend the Iron Bay
Regulator, and have it installed in my Petrel.  Second - my GP Wagstaff
Extra flies VERY well with 15%, with it's OS 1.60FX, no regulator (because
the tank is so close), a Bisson Pitts muffler and a Bambula 18 x 10 wood
prop.  Those are available from RC Showcase, and that makes this combo come
alive.
    Sure ain't unlimited vertical, but it flies VERY well for a 14lb
airframe.  Your friend's DP Extra should do even better.
    Should be turning upper 7's to low 8's on that combo, after broken in.
