Has anyone installed a larger tank (and do you have any pics or feedback on it?)
I recently picked one of these up from a flying buddy who has a K210 in it. He only gets 5 mins flying time with a small reserve of fuel and that's using a Taxi tank. He's not flying 3D or particularly pushing the throttle. I'd like to have 5 to 5.5L so I don't need a taxi tank and can have 7 mins flight time while keeping a 20-25% reserve. I was surprised to see Jettech and CM Jets don't have a bigger tank in inventory. I suppose I could fit the smoke tank and plumb them in line but I was hoping to add smoke.

Anyone know the total weight of the Electron retracts with the carbon fiber struts? I bought a used J-10 and it has Behotec Retracts. They weigh in at 4 pounds total not including the controller and steering servo. Curious of the weight of the Electrons. Don't know if the savings in weight are worth the extra expense of buying another set of retracts.
