like BOB said, the nose gear takes a bit more space... however I believe the best way to setup the patriot is to use a 4oz hopper tank up front and a 10oz or a 12oz (cylindrical) in the front of the fuse wing location:

the big advantage of B&D is the weight you save especially up front (nose gear) you won't have to put a ton of lead in the tail [X(]
