Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?

As I said earlier, the 45 flew it, but no guts.

Also, read the thread on facing the fuel tank towards the engine (opposite of normal), by mistake, that is how I had the tank installed.

Never got to use enough fuel to lose suction, but I read the thread about curving tubing and putting the tank in facing the engine (backwards).

I took a piece of 1/4" copper tubing, put a curl in it, cut it as close to the curl in the backof the tank, and attached a clunk line.

The pressure tube does not matter, it just pumps fuel.

I tipped the tank, filled it then emptied it. seems to be o.k., will put it in the plane, and run the engine up and taxi around my lawn.

If that works, will fly it tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed.
