    Status: offline     		I was thinking about getting the tank in the pipe tunnel too, the ZDZ50NG won´t have any problems with that? just want to make really sure about this.... CK1 you did not have any issues with that set up?

    Status: offline     		Yeah, I was wondering the same thing about the performance with the tank in the tunnel. It really is a perfect fit. Also is a 24oz tank really needed? This is my first gasser, but 24oz seems like a lotta fuel. But as I said, this is my first gasser so this is why I ask.
    Thanks for any replys.

    Status: offline     		Well Fellas , I'm still dialing it in and i'm not disapointed at all so far . I 'm spending more time on dialing in than usual as im setting it up on a 9ZAP TX
    which i haven't used before . The plane is great , it'll be super when i get the rates the way i like them.
    As far as the fuel tank location , No problem .
    I have been flying GS gas for several years and have had to place tanks in some pretty remote locations for scale reasons and for access reasons
    and i have nevr had a gas engine have a problem drawing fuel from the tank .
    I have used zenoah, 3w , brison , US engine , ryobi ,D&B, they all use pump type carbs that can pull fuel quite a ways , although initial prime may take longer the farther away the tank is (the longer the line the more time to prime ).

    Hows everyone setting up their fuel tank? 3 lines? 1 vent/overflow, 1 line to carb, 1 line to fuel dot?

    Status: offline     		Ok. I`ve got a BIG problem...the darn wing tubes are tooo damn tight!! I have tried everything, scotchbright pads on the tube, filed the lip thinking it may have a slight flair...even silicone lube...I`m afraid if I do get the wings to seat..I will not be able to get them off. What now? I`m out of Ideas...

    Status: offline     		The KISS method on pluming works for me , keep it simple stu**d
    1 vent line , 1 line to carb , use a Tee in the carb line to fill tank from using a fuel dot to block the tee line .
    The fewer lines ,the fewer chances for problems
