Fuel tan version 2


Keith did his CAD magic and sent me a revised fuel tank design that is in two halves, front and back. It is slightly smaller but easier to mount and fill with out the two raised parts as before. It is estimated to hold 40-45 oz. This draft front section is black and white because the printer ran out of black filament and all I had left was white. I was able to change spools and and save the print. The recess area on the front bottom is to clear the fuse joining blind nut and bolt.


Inside view has some ribs to make the front wall stiffer.


The back half is printing and I will get to it tomorrow.


Fits better that the first version


I changed the bottom blind nut from the front fuse section to the rear so the tank can be installed before the fuse sections are joined together. Access to the bolt is through the nose gear door.


Tank recess clears the blind nut and bolt


Dry fit of rudder servo in base of fin


Aileron servo pocket opened up and the pre wired extension has no plug. Also looks like there is not much surface area to attach the hatch with screws.
