Hi,

Yeah, it's an idea I've had for some time. I think it will be fun also. My Blazer (well, it's a "Jimmy") has a killer 454 that I built in it. Too much fun.

I'm thinking my Homelite 30cc engine might use about a quart for the flight. Does anyone think about 1/2 ounce a minute for a Homelite 30cc conversion running at about 75% power sounds about right? Just wondered if anyone had fuel consumption numbers for my armchair dreaming. One of these days I'll do an actual consumption test on it so I know for sure. The last place I lived, there were these guys with a model plane they developed to help with Border Patrol. Amazing stuff. They could put the plane on autopilot, and tell it to go circle the area several kilometers away, and take pictures. Then they would take off in their van full of electronics, and the model would follow. When they stopped, it would resume patrolling until they moved again or told it to come home. They had a four stroke engine on it, and big saddle bag type fuel tanks on each side.

I just need to be sure that whatever I rig up for a fuel tank won't be able to slosh fuel around and change the c.g.

Enjoy the pic,
