Re: Moki 2.1 what pump?

Don't use pump. use Cline regulator. I have been running Mokies 1.8 and 2.1 since '93, and Cline regulator is the way to go. You can get more information at:
www.billsroom.com/PCFS or E-Mail RCLINE807@aol.com
24 oz. tank is plenty, I fly two IMAC Intermediate sequences plus few minutes of extra practice maneuvers and after I land I have aprox 1/4 tank fuel in the tank.

If you wanted to stay simple and less expensive (more readily available, Also) use the Perry regulating fuel pump (by Conley) you can buy from Tower Hobbies for about $30 - it's the little blue can. Runs on crank-case pressure tapped in the center of the backplate. I used to plug my pump straight in to the engine and skip the pressure line altogether, just liked the pumped helicopter engines. I found this set-up very reliable, consistant, and efficient.
24 oz of 5% nitro with about 17 or 18% castor lubricant would work well, in my experience, and get you about 15 to 18 minutes of flying, depending on throttle management.

Large bore fuel tube, 80-20% no nitro, OS type F plug, I am using a Perry VP 20 pump on my 180 with good results.
Must say that the cline reg seems to be the best set up.
Take it easy and be patient running the mokis in, it takes afair anount of time but they just seem to get stronger and stronger as the run in.
