Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

Gents,

(Duane read first before answer, of course I know what finish means!)

We did write about the fuel tank before and here they are!

Howard Bonner and the Smog Hog and Daniel Bernoulli the Dutchman the

“Golden Team”.

See picture 1 and 2:
The air inlet tube on the same level as the spray bar gives you a constant fuel pressure in normal horizontal flight as long as the level is above the air inlet in the tank!
On the Smog Hog you even could rotate the tank to adjust!!
The lower air pressure above the fuel level is the same as the hydrostatic (fuelstatic?) pressure of the fuel, so compensation!!

Look to the control liners but the RC-pilots also knew in the past.
