Why pay $20 for a mouse trap when the $5 one still works just fine?

Use the search and you will find a couple of threads on it. It looks a lot like what skeeter posted.

The help with vibration and air bubbles, work pretty good in general, but they don't like negative G's.

I have been using hayes tanks and really like them but have wondered about the very expensive Roto flow too ,, Could you expand on the not liking negative G's please ? I have heard positive comments from guys that are using them .

I have two of them in scale planes and will buy more.  For me it is the no maintenance aspect that keeps me coming back.

$20.00 bucks for a mouse trap, how about $46.00 bucks for an overweight 32 oz. mouse trap that I have also heard has issues, no thanks, I will stick with my soda pop tanks that cost me next to nothing to build myself.

I think the RotoFlow tanks are a solution to a problem that hasn't yet been discovered.

Could you post a pic of your soda pop tank and maybe describe how you build it? I am interested..I drink a lot of pop...

+1 and the problem is....

suckers who are willing to buy into the hoop-la when the $5-10 tanks work just fine when installed correctly..

Sure, all I do is drink a soda, clean the bottle real good inside and out, I purchase a Sullivan fuel stopper kit for I think for $7.00 bucks, I cut A hole in the soda bottle plastic cap to except the Sullivan rubber stopper, and assemble using a fuel proof Goop. Thats it. I have been doing this since late 2005 with great success. here are just a couple of pictures of my home made tanks.

And I am one of those "suckers" who has bought two and plan to soon buy a third.

Dont know nuthing about those new fangled fancy schmancy tanks, but I do know I like that good old american ingenuity what Sensei has with them soda bottle tanks! Might do one of them myself next time a tank is needed. I read about the minimized maintenance in a previous thread, but my maintenance has been minor on my tanks in the last ten years. Not to say that everything I have wont fall apart this season,[X(] but so far so good.

Thanks Sensei , That looks like a great idea...I am going to give that a go..You should send that into Fly RC and you might be able to get a free subscription for the idea....

sensei

You are very welcome...
