RE: Vector Flight Xtra 300 66" build
Well it's been a while since my last post and I've completed alot of things on the plane. I've done the gear mod like Ross suggested. The tank has been one of my main concerns. I'm using a 16oz tank recommended by YS for their engines. It's supposed to withstand the pressure from their system. I thought it out and came up with my own mount. I wanted something that was removeable and that would bring the tank out when the mount was removed. I cut some light ply 3/32" I think. Shaped like a tee. I cut a strip 1" wide and the width of the fuse. I then cut two pieces from the same ply as spacers, and finally a 1" wide piece long enough to cover the width of the tee shaped piece. I glued up the 1" pieces and then glued the final assembly into the fuse just behind the firewall. The Wide end of the tee sets on the ledge in front of the servo mount tray and will be held in place by two blind nuts and machine screws. When the tank needs to be removed, just remove the two machine screws and slide it out of the slotted front piece thats glued to the fuse behind the firewall. Here's a couple pics of the the whole thing.
