Fuel tank mount?
Hey all...
I have seen some profile planes with the fuel tank mounted with rubber bands (never paid enough attention). Can someone explain how that is done? I'm thinking it might help w/ my air bubble situation.
Thanks.

pick up some hooks and screw them into the side of the fuse (something like the hooks used to hang pots but smaller ones) make them like a triangle or square and use the rudder bands on the hooks and wedge your tank in there.....

Thanks for the info.
Paul, do you have a picture of the other side of your plane? I'm interested in the path of your fuel lines as well.
Thanks again.

I don't have a pic... but I cut little channels out on the foam and ran them under the tank and behind the engine... I was able to make them shorter that way... I can take a pic next time I get a chance...
