I know this has been a while, but I did fly this finally, after having a heart problem a year ago Sept. I was at the field and was not feeling right. I assembled my planes including the Beaton50, however I had to sit down on my tail gate. Some visitors at the field noticed that I was having some problems and to make a long story short they helped me get things repacked into the car. I began to feel somewhat better and drove home, they didn't want me to, but I insisted. I called my doctor and after an EKG, he said that I had had a heart attack. I had a stint put in. I have not flown since, however I hope to do so this coming spring.

I was only able to fly this 2 times since completed and discovered that I need a larger fuel tank, as I have a maximum of 7 minutes run/flight time using 1/2 throttle. I have the largest that I can fit through the bulkhead. I was thinking that I could cut open the bottom or top and try a different one, however I am not sure if I would compromise the strength between the bulkhead and firewall. Any ideas?

What about making a custom fuel tank?
