i am building and rebuilding a dave patrick ultimate arf, the fellow at the hobby shop talked me out of an inverted mount so i mounted sideways. Now my fuel tank centerline is an inch below my centerline on the carb of my saito 56. Will this run into problems with rich/lean runs?? He wanted me to carve out the cross bracing ply and raise the tank, but the struts for mounting the wing are there so it doesnt look like a good idea. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, George

....it won't make any difference as long as you have the stock muffler pressure to the tank.

FBD.

You could use the uniflow tank setup, that should help.

Hi pardon my ignorance, but I am just getting into 4 strokes and I dont know what a uniflo tank set up is love to be up to speed thanks Bob A

Thanks guy's, the uniflow looks like the thing. I was considering the header tank earlier, but did not know what it was called. Now that i read the uniflow article, i like it!
Thanks again, George

Hello; The only "Dave Patrick" ultimate I've ever seen had an OS 120 in it, the owner said it didn't have enough power and was going toput a TS 155 in it to power it properly. I don't think that your OS 56 will have much of a chance even though we all know what wonderful engines they are.

I assumed he had a 40 sized version?

Oh; ( drr slap my forehead) i forgot to list that it is a 40 size. Ha. I have had so many problems putting this thing together, i am wishing i had not bought it. Not to mention the hobby shop neglected to tell me patrick is out of business, and i have no support or warranty on a new ARF !
Anyway, I bought another plane that they had and am trying to find info on that too, please see ( powerline hobbies edge 540 vs ST 3250) , could use some help there too.
Thanks to all, George
