[NSRCA-discussion] NMP Pattern Header

[adriancwong at earthlink.net]

Don,

I have had over two hundred flights on my Impact and over four hundred flights on my Smaragd with the NMP without any problem.

I think the trick is to use both of the supplied copper washers (one on the side of the thraded nut that goes into the header, and the other right next to the header). Also, be sure to use the NMP header brace, and you should not have any problem.

Hope this helps.

Adrian

>I just got back from the flying field.  My NMP Header blew off my 160 YS.  It pulled the threaded part that holds it to the engine through the header part. Has anyone had this happen to them? I have only put 5 gallons through this engine.  I am turning a 16.5x12.5 W APC at around 8500 rpms.  I am not sure if I like this header.  What are other people using on their 160'S?  I can take pictures to show people if they like.
