Ah! As I said, I have much to learn. Another question. I also am just completing my first kit, a .40 fun fly profile. (53 in. wingspan & 800 sq. in. wing area) (Global Raven) Is there any reason why I cannot mount the fuel tank sideways - that is perpendicular - at 90 degrees from fore/aft. IT would make the center of gravity for the tank 1 in. farther out from the fuse, and the fuel and pressure lines would have to exit on the wing tip end of the tank. Don't have room for the tank otherwise as it goes in the leading edge of the wing. It's a 6 oz tank. Can't find a 6oz that will fit although that is what the plan calls for. I could go to a 4oz that will fit. Approx. what would the run-time be on a .40 with a 4 oz tank? Again - thanks!
Hummm, you learn a lot reading these threads. I fly electric so I don't have this problem, but I can see how it would be an issue. Never thought about how a fuel tank would have to be mounted.
