I finally found a tank that fit the fuse at Value Hobbies. I don't know how the new ones are but I thought I was going to have to toss the whole airframe because of the fuse design.
Bullsye its comments like that that just amaze me and with all due respect to toss an airplane because you cannot find an OEM tank which is more the norm than what you might think, is well its just silly.
I'll bet three burned out glowplugs aginst a stale glazzed donut that all the experianced modelers here could fit an eight or eleven ounce Hayes into your airplane in oh, lets give ourselves time and just say fifteen minutes. A more conventional bung tank would take an extra twenty more minutes or so.
And it would be done properly. There is no reason in the world to not just remove the inside of the bulkheads and use some foam, no reason at all. The easy way is to just use an #11 blade in a handle but short of that use a dremel, chisel, chainsaw or dynamite.
