1.25 ounces. Tee Dees are thirsty! An AP Wasp only needs 7/8 oz. and is perfectly happy on 10% Nitro.

Actually, you need the Medallion crankshaft. The Tee Dee venturi is fine.

Try a 9 inch balloon, if that doesn't quite make it you can try the 12 inch. If you choose the hard tank make sure it is close as possible to the engine for best fuel draw. After you are successful post your set up for all to see. Good luck!

Bob,
I may take you up on that, I should have my new model ready in a couple of weeks, I give it a try on the .051 setup....heck I don't even know how well the model will fly. I will post pictures when done...till then its a secret....no sense embarrassing myself just yet
Looking forward to the event at Brodaks.... I think it may be the most fun we have all week

Tim, set your engine up on a test stand and time it to see how long it runs on the 1.5 tank

Sometimes the simply answers can be so hard to see.
I feel really stupid now
