Default Kyosho Wingmaster Ultralight-Help!

Im searching for an instruction set or someone who is familiar with this now discontinued arf kit. Need help locating an appropriate fuel tank? Wondering what went inside the scale pilot figure.

Thanks in advance.

I have free weekend long distance. If you email me your phone number I would love to chat with anyone familiar with this kit.

The fueltank sits in a a rectangle hardwire behing the engine mount before the wing on the left side. Its really small maybe 4-5 oz. The rx pack goes into the pilot.

If you would like to sell it please let me know

Default hardwire?

Thanks very much, I was well down the road toward attempting to squash a tank on the tray under the wing....So please elaborate on this "hardwire" arrangement? I can see making a tank work there...I suppose the battery was up with the servos on the aluminum tray? Receiver in the pilot -- thanks again.. All clear now.

I meant the reciever battery pack goes into the pilot.To elaberate on the fuel tank the hardwire is like a bracket. You could make a replacement using 4-40 type control rod.Bend it into a rectangle with a hoop on one corner,the hoop will attach to the forward bolt on the frame.Thats how the original worked.The tank is an odd shape.Its larger at the top than the bottom.It has a lip in the middle.It sits in the rectangle hardire.I can take some pics of mine next week if you want.

Default RE: hardwire?

Did you ever get it into the air?

I rescued a Wingmaster 10 w/ OS .10 I am installing Hitec micros to lighten the load but the only other forum link was not very encouraging. I am looking to establish the CG. Any ideas?

Default RE: hardwire?

HI,
My wingmaster flew nice.I used a enya 15,standard servos and rx in the under wing compartment and a square rx battery mounted inside the pilot.Im not sure on C.G. but mine flew well with this setup.
