YS 160DZ

[Derek Koopowitz]

Lamar,
 
This is all good stuff.  Thanks!  I looked at their site and they have those
3 way valves as well as the fuel shutoff clamps.  Cool stuff.  So on the 3
way... 1 line from the fuel tank, the 2nd to the motor and the 3rd to the
fuel dot that is used for filling?  Where do you keep this valve?  On the
outside of the fuse or inside the fuse but accessible from the bottom?
 
A pic would be great thank you...

Hi, Derek
 
I have been using the TET4322FT - STOPCOCK THREE WAY WITH FILTER  you can
find this at Rick's R/C Heli at

<http://www.ronlund.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=heli&Ca
tegory_Code=Fittings> &Store_Code=heli&Category_Code=Fittings
 
I use one fuel dot for fueling with a vent line coming out the bottom of the
plane I can send you a drawing if you would like me to, this is the best
setup that I have found because all you do is turn the switch off for
fueling and on for flying.
 
Let me know

Thanks Troy.  I agree with the hemostat use... I'm not a fan.

Derek,
 
APC 17-12 Standard works great 8600-8800 on CP 30% heli
Tank size Tettra 20oz.
 
Same fuel consumption as the 140DZ. I get about 11-12mins of sequence flying
land with a little fuel. This is about the same I got on the 140's Nothing
to notice different.
 
Tank layout I will send you a picture of what I do to isolate the tank from
the motor when its not running. I don't use the Hemostats. They will pinch
the line and crush it. After time they will cause the line to rupture or
split at the point where the hemos are used.
 
Troy

I just got one of these motors and I'm looking for info. 

1.  What prop is best? 
2.  What size fuel tank?  I know the 140DZ was a thirsty beast so I'm
assuming that the 160 is the same, or perhaps they've fine tuned the
thirstyness.

3.  Instead of the using the angled fuel lines that come out the fuse and
are pinched off with a set of haemostats. what other ways can one use to
pinch off the fuel line to prevent flooding?
