OS160FX setup

[Wayne Galligan]

Art just uses a tank big enough to fly his sequence with a few ounces to spare.  If your flying advanced or lower 
class you could get by with a 12 oz tank I would guess.

I can fly the advanced pattern twice with reserve on a 20 oz tank using an OS 1.40
.

  Looks like too many choices for a non-mechanic like me.  But I am really tired of watching others fly in the contest, while I nurse my engine.  Or almost as bad, nursing my engine while I am flying the sequence.  I am looking for a very reliable, consistent setup.

  Having got that off my chest, I wonder if anyone has figured out how far back from the engine you can go with a bladder tank?  Seems to me that having a 18oz tank next to the firewall has to result in trim changes during the flight.

  How do you pressurize a hopper or header tank?   Is crankcase pressure too much if you are running a hopper tank.
