RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet
Hi All,
I had planned to use the 50oz DuBro fuel tank in my Falcon as a lot of others had. I re-shaped the formers to accomidate this tank but found that I had to move the tank slightly forward to allow access to the wing bolts. Also, because of the forward spar, I was not able to get the tank to sit level. I have recently discovered that a 64oz Gulf Lite charcoal lighter fluid bottle will fit completely reward to the rear wing tube and allow access to the bolt holes. It also sits level in the fuse. I will be installing a Super Bee and may or may not need a little extra fuel but I figure i can always leave some off. My question is: This fuel tank will not be transparent as it is white. Do you think it would be a disadvantage to not be able to visually check the fuel level after a flight to get some idea of fuel consumption without defueling and measuring fuel remaining?
Thanks,
Grodus
