Status: offline 		Guys, thanks for the help. I really love the caliber. I've put a couple of tanks thru her hovering around and getting the linkage adjusted for a no trim required hover.

I do have two gripes. One is: How do you get fuel in and out of this tank without taking the body on and off all the time?. Have you run the fuel lines back behind the body to a fueling port of some kind? Second: How do you adjust the mixture without taking the body on and off?

Don't get me wrong, I love the look of the body, but I now see that it makes servicing and tuning very difficult.


Mike.

Status: offline 		I have been wanting to ask the same question.
I currently use a quick fueler. But i am still concerned
about it allowing air in the fuel system.
Maybe some of the guys [COLOR=red]Vortexgen,flyboy,davidj and
a few other experienced helli flyer's [/COLOR] will give us input
and maybe some pic would be nice.

I up graded to the FT body and it does allow a little more room
for adjustments and looks ok. one could modify the stock
canopy. Take alook at davidj photo gallery for his modified
stock canopy.

Status: offline 		Look in my gallery at the last pic. It shows the hole I cut the same size as the one for the exhaust. Since then I have cut the skirts off from the canopy to help reduce weight.

Status: offline 		Thanks guys. I just never occurs to me to modify something from the factory. I don't know what makes me think that every factory design is perfect. A couple of well placed holes would be perfect and easier than adding some complex plumbing.

David, the header tank looks great, did you make the bracket or use an existing one?

PS, what are the little yellow boots an the skids?

Burned another tank hovering today and only scared myself twice. It was hard enough learning to hover these things when I was sitting inside, and only 22.

Mike.

Status: offline 		The smoked windshield is a raptor 60 windshield. IT DOES NOT WORK. The servo arms contact the widshield. I did it and then found out it would not work. The header tank is from Heliproz and the yellow skid stops are rubber skid stops.

Status: offline 		I took a allen bolt, cut off the head...a little JB weld onto the needle valve with a strategically cut hole in the fuse and I can access the needle valve with my wrench with ease (where the black gromet is on the fuse) ) As far as the plumbing, I simply put the header tank as far back on the frame as I could by attaching it with the tail support screw and using a KSJ filter...the fuel clip is barely inside the fuse and can also be easily accessed.
Everyone says the caliber is an ugly beast but personally I think it looks pretty cool...especially when I dress it up with my squadron patch :-)
