<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The reply from Mintor manufacture regarding my
interest in fitting a dual plug head to an OS140 rx:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe Tony at Radio South or someone else can check
on getting these in a bulk shipment and reselling.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Might interfere with their relationship with OS
though. Dont know, but maybe possible.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have not done the dollar conversion for this
today, but I expect it will be worth the money if you are having difficulty with
an OS, or simply want a lower RPM available to you.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I have three of the 3 mintors head on my YS 140 RX, it does
lower the idle and make them smoother, the link is <A
href="http://www.mintor3m.it/Index.htm"
eudora="autourl">http://www.mintor3m.it/Index.htm</A> just send him an
e-mail.<BR><BR>There is actually two Japanese dual plug that I know of none
from OS to my knowledge, the link is <A href="http://www.hobbynet.com"
eudora="autourl">www.hobbynet.com</A> I used a translator available on
the web (free) Bellwood is the company producing them they seem to do high end
product out of aluminium and carbon fiber, the head number are 150142 for the
green one and the is one larger non anodized number 150141, for the green one
there is also the option for a additional piece (call sub head sink)that can
be bolted in the center. green 13000 yen (with sub) and the other one is 9800
yen......I don't have either of these two.<BR><BR>Daniel D.<BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite"><FONT size=2>Mike,</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>How does one purchase either of these heads?</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT size=2>--Lance</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT size=2>Hi all,</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> </FONT><FONT size=2>The
green Japanese twin plug head is a bolt on option that even has another heat
sink piece. Didn't have too much luck with the extra piece, the engine was
hard to warm up and would sometimes die before take off. Removing the second
piece solved that. The idle was incredibly low at around 1300, and
transition was the smoothest of any OS I have seen yet. This particular
engine also used an exhaust valve on the stinger, and in conjunction with
the head, made for the smoothest OS I have seen to date.</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times"> </FONT><FONT size=2>it's
worth noting that the green japanese head is bigger, and is hell on chin
cowls with hyde mounts =P</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face="Times New Roman, Times"> </FONT><FONT size=2>The 3M purple head
from Italy is also supposedly the same bolt pattern as the OS, although I
haven't had any personal experience with these. If it works the same as the
green one from Japan, this could be a good investment. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT
face="Times New Roman, Times"> </FONT><FONT size=2>I understand the 3M
Mintor engine it was made for is a real work of art, and I may try to obtain
one of these myself soon. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT
