Tracy,

I recently switched from pre-mix to OMP on my 3-rotor.  The 20b OMP
uses a stepper motor instead of a lever.  The stepper motor controls a
plunger which regulates the amount of oil injected for a particular
load.  I removed the stepper motor and built a plate with a 1/4-20
screw for adjustment.  I have it adjusted so it injects 1 oz of
2-stroke per gallon of fuel burned.  It uses Richard Sohn's OMP
adapter connected to an external reservoir.

On a side note, I contemplated using a 13b pump (using the 13b OMP
adapter), but it is a smaller pump.  I was concerned that it may not
have the pumping capacity to supply a sufficient amount of oil for the
3-rotor.  So, I went with the heavier 20b OMP.

Also, I fabricated new steel lines from off the shelf brake line
material purchased from O-Reilley's AP.
