Default Header Tank...

I have a Nexus Legato .52 4 stroke. I just got back into flying after 12 years, I started flying choppers at age 12. I used to fly very basic forward flight(very slow). Anyway I flew today for the 6th flight since I got this chopper and I flew better than I ever have(I think I grew balls since puberty, excuse my French). I flew at top speed and maximum climb(I know that it is not as high performance as 2 strokes, but it flew very nice and quiet). Well I acquired a 2oz. fuel tank to use as a header and need advise as to how to mount it(I was thinking zip ties) and the general settup. I know that there are some pilots out there as excited as I am after flying today that I can relate to. It is a whole other world when you advance to fast ff. If anyone could help me I express my respect and graditude.

dbest makes a complete header tank setup for about $14.- that includes a nice mounting bracket, instructions and everthing else you will need. you might want to go that route instead of "zip-tie-ing" a tank (which might not even have the right clunk etc....)

i believe it's the raptor line that has the cnc header tank bracket you can mount just about anywhere on your frames. i put one on the rear sideframe of my x-cell.
