Default Burrito UK

Just thought I'd show my Burrito in the bones. Build was easy but i'm a bit worried on were you put the fuel tank, there ain't alot of room up there. What tanks and sizes are you guys using, how are they held on? Pictures would be a great help.
Thanks in advance, Leigh.

Nice looking thus far Leigh. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere the guys can fit an 8oz on the side there. Think they were talking about the sullivan. Just do a quick search for the 100s of burrito build threads. I think most people use little wire hooks and rubber bands to hold the tank on. Well that is how I've been doing it. Just 3 or four little hooks and some foam between the tank and fuz to take vibration out. Nice and easy. Get her some clothes on! She wants to fly!

An 8oz Hayes tank will fit, but it's close. I think the 6oz Hayes is the most popular.

"L" hooks, or cup hooks and rubber bands to attach the tank.

The picture shows an 8oz tank.

I've got an 8oz on mine. I drilled 4 small holes and used tie-wraps to hold it on.

I'm using a 6oz Hayes, with 2 cup hooks. Rubberbands run from landing gear to cup hook above center of tank to lower front cup hook. 1/2 in foam keeps tank from rubbing on the gear mount.

You are just a few pots of coffee away from a Monday afternoon maiden.[sm=stupid.gif]
