Great looking plane. Can't tell from the pics the nacell size for fuel tanks. What size tank are you using and have you checked for the total run time. I use 4 oz on my C130 and get 12 minutes at full throttle with 4 saito .30's. The .32 2 strokes should have higher fuel consumption. I target for 8 minutes from engine start taxi to landing with 4 minutes reserve and this has worked out well. Great plane when do you plan to fly.. vettdvr
