DF setup, help
 
Hey people, I bought a regal eagle off a fellow and I've about got it ready to go but I don't understand how the fuel plumbing works. It has the usual three hoses from the fuel tank. One to the carb and a second to fuel (both with clunks and in the correct position in the tank). Then there's the third hose which would usually goto the muffler but in this case there is no nub for it. I don't get how I'm supposed to set this up. There is a place next to the fan where it looks like the line should go but I can't figure out why you would have it there.

Help out a wannabe jet guy will ya, I'm desperate to get flyin.

DF can use 'fan' pressure or pipe pressure.

If you have the fan pressure fitting I would use that. The inlet for this fitting should be behind the fan, pointing towards the front of the model (i.e. into the fan airflow). The two methods achieve the same aim of pressurising the fuel system.
