Yes. This will be an old school set up like in the old days before uniflow tanks came to be common. Mount the tank with some clearance between it and the engine. The centerline ( the pick up tube) of the tank should be just a fuzz above the centerline of the engine, or at least be able to adjust it that way in the future. The over flow tube is the one that comes out the bottom. The fill/vent tube comes out the top. The engine will run best when you cap the over flow tube after filling, and then put an angled piece of fuel line on the fill tube and have that angle cut facing forward. That will prevent any air that passes over the fill/vent tube from creating a chimney effect and make negative pressure in the tank, cause erratic runs.  The engine WILL speed up a bit after the tank level get s below half way as there is less "head pressure" or weight of the fuel pushing it towards the needle valve. You get some help from centrifugal force creating some fuel head pressure once you are in the air. Try an 8-4 to 8-4 prop on the engine as a starting point. Lines can be .012 or .015 steel or the new fishing line variety in a 30 pound test I think would be safe, both types being about 54 feet long. Fuel for an LA can be 5 or 10% nitro and most hobby shops carry Omega from Morgan Fuels.

Whether you have a pressure tap on the muffler or not, a uniflow tank would be a good thing. The engine would then hold a steady setting for the whole run. Please, do not fail to let the engine warm up for 15 seconds or so before setting the needle valve!  Steve

Is this Alro #1 or Revenge of Akro?

30 flights? In my hands that is a world record! Good to hear of a working combination for this plane.

As a followup, the Akromaster is now flying. I just wanted to report back after it's first 30 flights. The fuel tank is a Brodak  standard vent BH 566 2oz. I set the needle slightly rich with the airplane on the stooge and as Steve suggested, let it warm up a few seconds to stabilize. Upon launch the run goes into a clean 2 stroke and stays that way until empty.  Positive loops and wing overs don't seem to disturb the tune. Currently I am running 8% nitro fuel and 21% oil (50/50). Very happy with the results. I'm not having to fiddle with the needle to speak of and cent of tank position is slightly below the needle valve.

  What prop are you running?
