Default Fuel Tank Placement

hnesitd1:

I just got mine together and out in the yard, this is how it went, the motor is a tower pro .46 bb. very powerful and reliable motor for me so far.
The tank in the kit is very small so I opted for a larger one and set it in the best I could, not level but pretty close and it is higher than the carb. no other option with the motor inverted.
I did use a electric starter and it did not flood but started right up and ran pretty good but did fatten up and die. so in with the low end screw and now it idles very nice.
Did not get a chance to fly it but in running it up it seems to take throttle good and just needs a little fine tuning at the field. maybe a different prop.
Might get to fly it tomorrow evening.

Might as well show it off.
