I recently won a raffle at our local club for a used Su-do-khoi 60. I can't figure out how to mount the fuel tank.[>:] The online instructions say: "Install the fuel tank with rubber bands."[sm=71_71.gif] I have never seen a tank mounted with rubber bands. Does anyone have this plane and could show me a picture of how their tank is mounted? Or could someone offer some tips on how to mount a tank with rubber bands?

Thanks in advance.[8D]

The second pic....where you're holding the tank to the fuse.........that's it!! Make sure you put a thick piece of foam under the tank before you mount it, then attach with some rubber bands..from the top hook to the bottom hook!! You may even want to put a couple bands criss-crossed.

EASY AS PIE!!!!

Thanks Maniac. It'll stay with just rubber bands?

I guarantee it.............

This pic is old school.....but it shows 2 ways of doing it....rubber bands...and zip ties. I prefer the bands!!!

Here you go Jester. Do you have a Su-Do-Khoi?

Thanks Maniac, I banded the tank and started the engine last night and it held on just fine.

It looks like it will be a fun plane. Free planes are the best kind!

Where in PA?

mounted mine in the fuse. Took awhile to find the right size but works good enough for 15 min flights

I built and flew one of those many years ago with a YS.91AC. Great flying and hovering plane, sold it to Eddie Hill.

I miss my Su-Do...[]

My tank is on the engine side, just at the wing. YS 91 for power.

I use fuel tubing. Tie a knot in each end of it and stretch it to the hook. Rubber bands work well but the fuel will eat them up after a while. Be sure and put a little foam under it also.

That's a neat idea!
