<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a MOKI 1.8 in a Midwest Cap (80" span, 14
pounds). I installed a Perry pump that uses crankcase pressure. Where the tank
is located makes no difference. I am running Red Max all Synthetic fuel with
5-7.5% nitro. I have proven to my satisfaction that Dick Hanson's advice that no
Pitt's style muffler provides adequate fuel pressure. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only strange behaviour that I experience is
that the first start of the day takes a little effort and it wants to run
backwards for a while. I have noticed others with the same problem without the
pump. No big deal, I can live with that. The needle NEVER needs adjusting.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I usually use a MAs 18-10 prop because it survives
ground to prop strikes better than anything else and I seem to have a few of
them. I don't know if APC even makes this size any more, but the two piece with
hub version was expensive to fly.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't fly it much because it just don't fly like
a pattern ship!</FONT></DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>To be honest, if weight
wasn't an issue, I would use the MOKI 180. I have not used an engine more
user friendly or more robust than that one, and has power to burn. Piped,
propped and mounted correctly, it could be made fairly quiet. It
was nice to just fuel it, prime it, one flip start it, and have it last
several seasons without any hint of a problem. No bearings, no rods, no
rings, or anything else for that
matter.<BR><?/smaller><?/fontfamily></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I have virtually no
experience with MOKI engines, other than to sell fuel to owners and listen to
complaints from the ones who aren't convinced that MOKIs want/need low % nitro
fuel to operate properly. Does anyone care to comment which fuel works best in
their MOKI?<BR><BR>Ron Van Putte <BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
