RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon
Hi all, I am new to RCU and posting on forums. I have been following this thread for a while and I am currently finishing my Phoenix Models Super Decathlon. I am new to building RC planes. I have had several foamies and built a SPAD (Simple Plastic Airplane Design) from internet plans but this is my first ARF. This may sound like a stupid question but I was woundering if anybody had pictures of how they mounted their fuel tanks in this plane. The directions (or lack there of) stated to put a bead of silicone at each end but this seems like a fragile and unsecure way to secure the tank once it has the weight of the fuel in it. Any pics or sugestions would be great. I am using a 10 oz Dubro tank that I already had assembled instead of the stock one that came with it.
Another question I had. I am using a Magnum .52 two stroke and the directions for the engine state not to use bigger than a 12x8 prop. I have a 12x6 and am wondering if this will be enough prop to pull this plane.
Thanks in advance for any advice or help.
