Dera All

Take a look at post 3549 and 896,

3549 are the origional tanks which are no longer available from Netto, However I also have a box of bottles that can be used as tanks on the L39 I will post photos over the weekend

I also believe the Graupner 1 litre tank fits well plus a UAT or chainsaw clunk

Regards

Gordon

They can be seen page 72 of this thread. That was back in 2005... my plane has changed a lot since then...

Status: offline 		If you use a wren pipe, distance from pipe to turbine should be 10mm if regular wren44, and 30mm if wren44 gold.
Schematics post#1746 (page 70). If needed I can make you an engine mount post#1598 (page 64).
I Still have some parts lying around since 2005 and I just digged out the CAD files.

Perhaps you ought to start a separate poll?

You can bet on it. This is one of the best small turbine or first EDF's out there. I have a new one in the box but it won't be for long.

Status: offline 		 Think the new baby Jets Munt turbine shown at Jetpower will be perfect for the L39.  4kg of thrust. 60mm diameter casing. Got to be worth considering as it should  be a whole lot lighter than the Wren44.

Status: offline 		 Just a thought, might be worth making a bespoke Kevlar  tank for the L39, I'll look into this if there's interest. A bit of bling and a whole lot more cost than a shampoo bottle but worth a look I feel. fibreglass tank may be a better option as a whole cheaper to produce.

You have it. That's the way Boomerang showed me how to set mine up. I will watch with interest the makings of the fuel tank. I will fly mine with the EDF set-up but know the 44 will wind up in it!! Lol. If I keep the 44.

Talking about Wren and memories back from 2005, I liked talking to Sara at Wren. She was nice and very helpful...
Too bad she is no longer part of the Wren team...
