Hey a question for you Hotspot guys. I crashed mine a few years ago from a really poorly timed engine failure. Still hurts, but I manager to pick up another kit!

All i have for power this time is a P180RX, which will be heavily de-tuned of coarse... When rolling back the max RPM, the fuel consumption typically suffers due to the lower pressure ratio in the engine. My 1st Hotspot had the ~2.5L main tank, with a pair of dubro 18 oz tanks in series on each side of it. (that made for ~3.5L) The pump was drawing from a UAT, then a DuBro, then the other DuBro, then the big tank in the middle. the big tank drained 1st.
It worked well, and kept from ballooning the big tank too much. I'm wondering though, what is the most fuel capacity that any of you have been able to cram into this jet?
Thx,
Kelly
