74" EF Yak Fuel Tank
What is everyone using for a fuel tank for the 74" EF Yak and where are you putting it? I am putting a Brillelli 46 in mine. My first thought was right up front in or slightly behind the engine box. After trying to get a couple tanks in there, there is not enough clearance.
Where are you putting your tanks? Pics would be great also.

A 12 oz DuBro tank will last you a LONG time in the air... 20 mins+ with plenty to spare...
Install it as far back toward the wingtube to minimize CG change (and since it's gas, it's pumped and no problems with tank location)
In case you weren't aware... there is a large thread dedicated to the 74" yak here:
It starts out about an electric version but then covers glow and gassers too... pics in there as well... do a "search this thread" at the lower right of the pages for "tank" and Brillelli

12oz dubro, I should have used a 8 or 10oz tank. I'm running a brillelli 40cc. 12 minute flights with about 50/50 3d and imac i'm using roughly 6oz.
