[Lance Van Nostrand]

This whole discussion has motivated me to update the tuning info on 
www.aeroslave.com
Now anyone can download the setup info.

> Thanks everyone for all the advice and info. I made a few changes to my

> way it was. The main needle is now 1 1/8 turn out. The idle mixture is at
> about the 1 o/clock position. I can send detailed info if anyone is

> 1. Needed to remove 2 of the 3 head gaskets (previous owner was running
> higher nitro).
> 2. Pipe installed length was about 1" too short. Now it is at 26 3/4" from
> piston face - through the header - to the first baffle in the Aeroslave
> pipe.
> It's too dark to get tach. readings tonight but I still need to fly it and
> fine tune everything anyway.
> Just simple stuff. This motor is a little bit more fussy than an OS 160. 
> OK,
