Tim, that is an os in-flight needle in a base i don't recognize. the needle is a standard os item, many people make bases for them. back the actual needle out a bunch, close the black section all the way (make sure the needle is not hitting, holding it open), then open the black part 1/2 turn. this is the basic setup, from here you adjust the actual needle as you would any in carb or remote manual needle - WITHOUT MOVING THE BLACK BASE! the arm may be rotated/clocked to the proper position by removing the c-clip, lifting it up & reinstalling it in the position that works in your setup.

One other thing to add, tim. the os setup comes with 2 different needles, 1 for .21's & most .45's & another for some .45's & larger engines. the 1 for smaller engines has a longer, more gradual taper than the 1 for larger engines. kinda hard to tell without having both on hand. they can be ordered separately from os.
