Hi guys,

I just picked up a new H9 Pulse XT 40 ARF and a new OS 55ax. Cannot wait to fly this puppy. This will be my first shot at glow flying, as I currently have 5 electric planes.

Anyway, my question is, does anyone know of a website or instructions on the best methods for refueling planes with cowl's??? I have found next to 0 info online on best setups and what parts are needed. All the guys at the LHS had no clue what parts I needed either... How do new glow hobbiests know what to buy?

Anyway, do I go with a fuel dot mounted to the side of the cowl, or a simply a 3rd line hanging down from the tank which is capped when not in use? My tank cap has 3 holes, of which I assume you're supposed to drill out the 3rd hole and insert another brass fitting and a 2nd clunk line? Or is it best to stick with 1 clunk line and just use a brass bent suction pipe??? Obviously it needs to be easy to get to as it would be rediculous to remove the cowl for every refuel. Now what happens when I fuel? Won't the carb be flooded??? 1 way valve in line to carb??? What about unfilling the tank? I'd assume a 2nd clunk line works best?

Next I bought all the hookups to drill holes in the glow fuel container lid to put 2 holes in. I think this part is straight in my mind. One is just a vent for replaced fuel. I ended up buying like $40 with of connectors and parts as I mapped it all out in my mind. Since I've never done this before it was a bit of a challenge, especially since everyone at the LHS only flies electric and has no clue about glow setups... How would the 2 line tank method (vs 3) work? I mean obviously a splitter, and one way valve, but which is superior?


I'm going to run an electric fuel pump I just bought and solder on dean's connectors so I can use my 3s lipos to power it. Should make it highly portable.

Need some help with fuel setups badly! I didn't see instructions anywhere, checked online, manuals, LHS, etc. Only site I found is [link=http://www.hooked-on-rc-airplanes.com/fuel-dot.html]http://www.hooked-on-rc-airplanes.com/fuel-dot.html[/link] but I'd like to know if a fuel dot setup is the best (or only) way to go. How do you guys all do it? A wall of over 100 parts at the LHS was a abit overwhelming, esp. when no one could help me.

Thanks!
