I've not got the formers with me - I fitted them in my friends plane and mine is still being shipped. As Dave says, he's right the formers are packed with the tanks. The tanks were shipped separately when I built my friends one.

Sounds like my tanks have arrived with Dave, so if you haven't got the formers with your tanks I can send an outline when I pick them up. I'm away with work until the weekend but might be able to pick them up then if I get time.

Nice! For some reason that scheme (for me) looks good in both colors.
BTW, I like your house and yard. Quintessential England!

Default Mephisto Build

Some build questions:

Manual: https://carf-models.com/files/product/a0/9e/75/mephisto-manual-v1-3.pdf

Page 7 of above manual calls to add 100grams of weight. I do not see any slots pre cut to add weight. Any one have any idea on how to achieve this?

Thx,

Chet

Dave,

Hi Dave - I sent an email to Andreas about it.

What's a good method to plumb the 3 tanks on the Mephisto.

All the other jets I have are always in series but this seems to be a parallent setup.

I found these:

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1942372 and
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=1942373

What's the recommended setup?

Regards,

Chet

The third round tank is designed for smoke. Either way the two saddle tanks are parallel either into a bubble trap or could be the third 2ltr round tank.
Use a single overflow from the two 3ltr saddles and make sure everything is 6mm o/d clear as supplied with the kit

Dave,

I was talking about the 3rd tank being the smaller rectangular tank.

I guess it can be used for the smoke system to ensure that there is never an air gap (as a UAT).

As such I can plumb the 2X 3 litre tanks in parallel to a UAT that feeds the pump. The smoke tank into the small rectangular tank that feeds the smoke pump.

Just want to make sure as all the diagrams shows that the 2X 3lt tanks should go into the smaller rectangular tank that then goes to the UAT.

Chet
