Extreme 330 and Fuel Tank location
I got a CG Extreme 330 that in the final assembly stages. The directions say to position the center of the tank inline with the top engine rail mount. But, if you look at the pic that that they show they have the tank below the top engine rail.If I do as they say in the directions the center of the tank will be above the carb. So my question is, where is the best place to mount the fuel tank on a profile. Do you want the center of the tank below or above or inline with the carb?Is it really that important? I thought maybe some of you guys could tell me where you mounted yours. I'd like to get it right the first time so I dont have 8 holes in the fuse when I should only have 4. By the way I'm going to use a 2 stroke OS 45 Thanks, JT

Thanks for the pics Jerry. By the looks of your tank it seems to be lined up with the carb. Sounds good to me. Nice job on the tail wheel assembly. I looked it over when I first got the kit, didnt like it to much. So I went out and bought a Sullivan tail assembly for it. JT
