Does longer fuel line make a difference?
I was working on my venture last night again finally...and i just dont like how the fuel tank sits in it..i know its standard, but i have huge hands and managing to get the tank in and foem in and every thing else (fuel tubing through the hole) is just a pain...and im get frustrated with it quickly...
Im putting the servos for the tail in the tail...so the only servo up front would be the throttle...and i could put the battery and receiver under the tray for the tank thats there now...
Im putting a saito 91 in there which everyone says will make it nose heavy..and the servos in the tail will help a little but you still need to add some weight back there to get it even...i figure if i can put the tank just forward of the cg above the wing, that would help both the CG and the small space problem, plus it would mean that the CG would change less in flight.
My only concern was the added length of fuel line (about 6-8 more inches) and whether or not that would affect the fuel pressure enough to be a problem.
I am going to add smoke as well later...and could put it maybe where the fuel is supposed to go..but i really dont know...
I guess the big thing is the length of line, so verdict?
