Default RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear

The 180 sucks down fuel pretty fast too, especially when wide open...probably at about the same rate as the 140 if not a little higher.....I've always been fine with a 20 - 22 oz tank with my 180's with 12 minute planned run time and about a minute reserve at wide open... (but with the Funtana i'm only using a 16oz with over 12 minutes run time and probably over 4 ozs still in the tank..bet you can guess how much throttle it takes to just fly that plane)

I used the stock tank, but probably would get a larger one for the 140 or 180 to drink from.... Also, my stock tank took the YS pressure no problem...I did wrap it in that fiber-filament packaging tape just to make sure... Back whe I had A Raptor, the TT tanks that came with them where pretty strong too, and never had troubles.

My retracts worked flawlessly, I'll probably glue in the plastic wells now and get some of those gear door mounts for the robostruts..

Richard or anyone else, Ya got any other ways to mount the gear doors to Robostrus or just buy the little brackets from Robart?
