RE: Tango ARF
Hi guys!
For those of you, who have a bit of blue foam, some fiberglass and resin and an old DuBro tank-fitting: Just make your own fuel-cells. In my opinion, the Mecca-tanks are to expensive for the quality they have. I decided to mold my own tanks over two foam-halves, just covered with tape.
The duBro-fitting is held by a very short aluminium-tube (from one of the crashed jets?), which is glued into the tank just before assambling. The fill-fitting is a 4mm brass-tube glued to the lowest part of the tank. It took me three nights lazy work. I think 2hour to cut, sand and prepare the molds, and 1 hour glassing for each tank. Another hour for the final work, like cutting the edges, glueing together, setting up, etc. That makes 5 hours at all. Compared to the time we spend to build our jets a very short period. Have look at the pics:
