Iron Bay Regulator

[Koenig, Tom]

Wayne- a pattern buddy of mine CNC's backplates for the OS 160 to suit the OS pump unit. His has run faultlessly for years ( apart from bearings ie: the usual maintenance).

Dunno why OS themselves has not done so either.

I think all the experimenting and tinkering is great stuff.  I have myself have tried the various things like regulators and check valves, hopper tanks and external pumps.   For what its worth and I direct this at anyone just getting into the hobby.  It is WELL WORTH the extra bucks to invest in an engine that has its own pump/carb combination.  Doesn't matter if its 2 or 4 stroke.  If you want a reliable, start every day, predictable setup this is the best and least frustrating way to go.  The only way I could make the ST2300 run right was with a Perry pump.  But I also had to have the Perry carb to match.  Once I had that setup it was a perfect match and still fly that engine today with the same setup and it is nearly flawless. The OS 1.40's are the same way. 

I applaud those that experiment for benefit of others.  With out that many of us would be frustrated past the point of not wanting to fly.

To bad OS hasn't woken up to the fact that they would sell many more of the 1.60's if it had a pump.  Or redesign it accept a pump if one chooses to convert it.  But then the carb would need a redesign to work with the pump.

Has anyone out there tried the Perry large bore carb with the Perry pump on the OS 1.60?

All:
I recently converted my 2-stroke 1.60 OS from a "pump" setup to a pressurized tank/regulator ..... WOW!  Thanks to Arch Stafford, I'm now using the Iron Bay regulator and it really solved a lot of problems.  Check it out - finally got this thing working as advertised.   http://www.ironbaymodelcompany.com/Webpages/Accessories/Accessories.html

Thanks, Arch!!
