Hello guys, I have decided to purchase a Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle. I have a Saito 100 lyin around so I've decided on using that.
Some things I'm sure of now are:
I need to beef up the firewall
Prop: 15X6 APC
2.25 spinner
I might use a dual elevator setup.
Engine will be mounted inverted
15% nitro
So what I am unsure about is, I have seen guys setup all sorts of valves, uniflow and such up front. I have no idea about any of this stuff. I have also seen weird setups of throttle servos and stuff.
What are some recommendations when using the Siato 100 in this plane? And overall setup tips?
another question is the mixing, What do i ned to mix (as far as the radio is concerned, not the fuel)
You do not need anything out of the ordinary. Just use a 3 line system.
One line goes from the clunk to the carb.
Second line goes from the second, shorter clunked line to the filler tube (capped with a fuel dot, this is where you fill the tank)
Third line is the vent line. This line loops is on the vent inside the tank. The fuel tubing outside the tank loops back to the top(back) of the tank and then back forward and out the bottom of the plane near the firewall. This allows the tank to vent, but fuel will not drain out of the tank in flight.
