Webra Problems

[Gordon Anderson]

I just learned today that Steve Sterling, the guy in our club with a webra 1.45
that is running very well, is using a bladder tank. Some of the folks providing
me feedback were speculating that the pump may be getting a gulp of air. The
bladder tank would take care of this, I'm going to order one from Central and
see if this helps, I'll let you know.

Dennis,

I'm not trying to convince Gordon not to change engines, I'm not associated with
any Hobby related industry and have no vested interest in Webra. If changing
engines will reduce his frustration and allow him to enjoy pattern then that's
probably what he should do. I'm just letting him, and others, know that I've
personally had success with the engines and I'm offering my assistance if he'd
like to get the Webra working and save some money.
