hmmmmmm......

good question...... Ive always paired either 6oz or 8oz tanks of the same size.

But thinking about it, there is no reason you couldn't use different sizes. They key as always is to ensure you evacuate all of the air from both tanks.

T(h)anks Bob!

I'm repairing my crashed Patriot .40 which had a rossi .53 I'm debating with myself wether I shall go with my .60lx or .90 lx[>:] If I choose the .90, I was thinking of having two tanks, a 6 oz in front (shortening the nose) of a 12 oz in the wing bay to get some time in the air.

BTW, what email adress is working? "Please use only [email protected]" doesn't reply.

Well, at least you have some flexibility there to install any engine you wish....

Im not sure how the staggared tanks would work. Worth a shot though.

On my old ARF patriot I found a long, skinny

yes, [email protected] should work. Was working this morning at least.

Ive been changing over servers for the web site, we had problems for about a month with the old one.

when in doubt, use [email protected] -

Bob, Henrik,

Just a little piece of advice, try to avoid posting direct email addresses here, as spam search engines will nail them [&o]. I receive 20 spam emails a day, and I guess I know why...

Yes, very true. The spiders collect stuff from here pretty frequently.
Only way really to do any good is to change the email address about every 6-12 months. I let the last one go 18 months.

We tend to get around 100 spam emails a day. Fortunately we have a pretty decent spam filter that catches a lot of them. Still, 20-30 get through

Here's my Jett projects:

Pavel Bosak F-4 Phantom (PITN) SJ76 (Under construction)

Topflite 1/7 P-51 SJ90 (Sittin on the shelf)

Both these projects just go a whole bunch more expensive with the choice of the Jetts, but I'm tired of "halfway" engines that are wimps, temperamental, or unreliable, or all three.

Crazy4: where'd you get your F-4 kit? There was one on ebay a couple days back, I think it went for about 160 bucks.

I bought the plane built with air-retracts.
