  Wayne,

  I haven't used a pump or regulator since I got the first O.S. 160FX.
  Two seasons on the first with the original bearing in a heavy 2M Star.
  4oz. header tank behind fire wall and 16oz. tank just in front of wing tube.
  Pipe pressure from high point of pipe into main tank. No need for any
  pump or regulator. Consistent runs and excess power every flight with 
  unlimited vertical. 
  16.5 X 12 APC, Fourstroke Y.S. plug, Mac's #1090 pipe with small diffuser-
  aftermuffler added to stinger. You can guess who's header. Very quiet setup.
  Will run on any fuel from 15-30%  without any noticeable change in power.

    On the ST2300 if you use the Perry pump you also need to use the Perry carb.  I have one now that I am still running and once its set I had to barely make any adjustments over the whole season.  Putting it in a Funtana 90 right now...should be a blast!!

    Art Waggner flies FAI and uses the OS 1.60 quite successfully with no pump.   He runs the tank behind the firewall and uses a bladder tank and runs muffler pressure.
