Default RE: Nitro Planes EZ Trainer

You'll see a LOT of talk about Tank/Height differences and how things "must" be in line.

For-get-about-it!!!!

The only time this is an issue is in relation to siphoning fuel ( something you will not have a problem with ) or when there is quite a bit of distance between the carb and the tank.

As I tell people, if 1/4 - 1" made SUCH a difference, our planes would conk out every time they go a bit nose up or down.... yet they keep flying!


Most trainers are designed much like the one you have, and they are wonderful flyers.

Just mount the engine properly and securly, keep the fuel lines as short as you can, fly with an instructor at first, and go have fun!

No need to overthink it.
