Definitely uniflow. How you run the vents is up to you. Muffler pressure is also optional. We ran muffler pressure on that type of set up, but it will run fine without.

The LA 46 is more than ok. I have an OS .25FP in mine and it has lots of power.

Some good info on tanks and the nose of the Omnium is a takeoff from the Oriental.

I've built & flown 2 Orientals powered by OS LA .46. They fly great. Build the tail end a little heavy or you will need to add lead to the tail. I used uniflow all tubes foward tanks 4.5 OZ. with muffler pressure. This tank slips in from the front. You have to cut out the most forward bulk head to make this work. I've found this is an easy to build, great flying plane.
