bert baker Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Pleasantly surprised with the engine splash of 50-1 and she’s running now to double check the fuz and get the paint going to shift the c-g back a bit I’m pretty sure this will improve the right roll rate IMG_0727.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Jenkins Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 An OS FS120 pump is also perfectly happy in my Stampe which has 2 tanks, one top and one bottom with no balancing pipe work. Lot to be said for pumps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
