Well I survived

So I have a V.P 30 regulating Perry pump, to be installed on this O.S 160 FX engine. I have this brand and size engine with the Perry pumps on my other 2 giant planes as well. They are powerful and reliable engines. So 5 years ago i called my zone director who does estate sales on R/C gear, and asked him if he could get me one of these engines.

He told me he just got some gear from an estate the day before i called him, he said Norm i will get back to you, i think i have one that just came in. Low and behold if he didnt e-mail me back with pictures of it, he said i don't think its had maybe a tank of fuel through it.

I was impressed with the pictures, i took it right away! I am so grateful to have it, as you can no longer by this big engine in a two stroke nitro. Here's a pic of the engine and the pump. They will be going into this winter project, my Katana that i haven't flown in about 7 years now.
