Hey Mark,

I am flying my Skygate Hawk with a P-200 and would like to share these issues and also ask some questions:

1. I didn't know that Skygate produced a bigger tank so I am using the standard 4 litre tank with two BVM saddle tanks (0.75L eack, from MiG-15), mounted on either side of the upper fuselage. does the bigger tank have a baffle inside?

2. The P-200 (and P-180) are the same length and due to the much longer starter motor the fuel tank has to be moved forward about 20mm. Does the bigger tank have the same issue?

3. This fuel capacity of 5.5L gives me a comfortable 8 min flying time and I usually land with a reasonable reserve of 1.5L.

4. I would cut the inlet ducts just like you said, at the rear, but make sure you cut them far enough to leave about 2" gap as the P-200 / 180 demand a HUGE ammount of air.

5. Also I recommend you use a FOD Guard, Ali sells them.

I have actually just ordered the P-200SX for my Hawk and will put the existing P-200 into my Ultra Bandit.

Cheers,

Darryl Tarr
