RE: a few questions following the MINARE's maiden flight
Paul,
The diameter of the throat to know if the carb is original of dimensions for your situation.
If the distance is much more than my 20 cm / 8 inch you have to leaf fuel in the tank to observe behaviour of the engine! For example 25 % for 26,6 cm distance. So only observe the shorter flights to make a decision to swap the tank or not.
When the fuel level is low it costs more time the pressurize and depressurize the tank, so think about the connection between pipe and tank too, bore of the connections, mud in the connection etc!
