CONTROL LINE TANKS
 

HI
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE IN THE UK I CAN BUY FUEL TANK FOR A FLYING WING

RE: CONTROL LINE TANKS
 

Can you be a little more specific? Metal or plastic, uniflow or regular? Size? I think I have seen that Brodak products are available in the UK, and they have a huge assortment of CL tanks. Or you might be able to use an RC clunk tank. Or make something custom.

HI,
I.m not sure what I want, I did control line 50 years ago but have lost contact with all of it.
My plane is just a wing with a small elevator on it and two engine bearers on the front end.
I would imagine I have got to build in a tank somewhere I.m not even sure about that, I have been trying to look up info on the net but haven't as yet found any diagrams to guide me, I though if I see some tanks it might become obvious what I have to do.

PS Aeroproducts stock Brodak tanks and some of their own:

I suspect the engine is slap back against the leading edge so the tank will need to be in the wing - or you can get away with it on the pod on the opposite side to the engine.

PAW do tanks too - as well as 2.5cc diesels:

Best to ring as they don't always have tanks available.

Something like this Brodak BH-524 tank could be built into the wing of a sport model or you could do the cardboard or plastic tube trick and use a pressure bladder if you want to do combat.

RE: CONTROL LINE TANKS
 

If you decide that you need to build a tank, I wrote a series of articles for Flying Models magazine about 15 years ago on modifying and building controline fuel tanks. I have the articles in PDF format. If you need them, drop me an email and I'll send them off to you.

Regards,
