OS 160FX setup

[Archie Stafford]

The instructions on the website are pretty clear.  I've seen one run on an
OS 1.6 all summer, and it was flown very hard.  It was flown in a 24% Extra
300 and I have put it through its paces numerous times, and never had an
issue with it.  We ran Cool Power 15% through it, and I don't remember ever
having to touch a needle.  I saw Bob is no longer recommending this, and he
has a lot of runs on his OS 1.6 with the Perry pump, however I ran that
Perry pump on a Super Tiger 2300 and could not get it to run consistently at
all, so I guess its all a matter of personal preference, just like anything
else we do.the only thing you would ever need to replace would be the
diaphragm, which they will replace for free.

So any tips on how to set up an Iron Bay Regulator?  How many flights beofre
you need to replace one?

Another option is the Regulator from Iron Bay Models.  This thing is VERY
light, and works great.  Saw Bob Pastorello mentioned it on his site as
well.  Uses crankcase pressure to pressurize the tank.  Gives it sort of a
YS feel..you have to burp your engine after you fly, but these things work
great.

So now that the OS160FX has arrived, I need to figure out how to set it up
for my Focus.  Seems to be two options,  (1) a perry v30 or (2) a header
tank.  So would one choice be better than the other for the advanced
sequence?
 
Where do you get the muffler pressure if you are running a header tank?
