What do you guys think would be big enough for this motor? I am putting it in a Nosen P51 and have a fair amount of room. I am not looking to fly over 12 minutes..I would guess 9-10 min flights with reserve. Also have any of you tried those tanks with the internal rotating brass fuel pickups? ( the name escapes me) They were kind of pricey, but I would appreciate any good or bad reviews about them.

Thanks for any help..

Got the 4.2 sachs in a Byron Corsair. It has a 24 oz tank, and you better be on the ground in about 18 minutes.

The tanks your talking about are Roto Flow tanks. This will be my 4 season in my gassers with Roto Flow tanks. I have never had a issue with them, well of 200 flights.

I've been using quart tanks (32oz) for my Sachs 4.2s. I never worry about running low on gas. If your Nosen P-51 has the room, you may want to consider the larger size.

Well I was tempted by the larger tank, but I think a 24 oz will be good for me. I don't tend to make really long flights, and I have a buddy that lost a HUGE Corsair because his throttle servo froze up and he had a giant tank with the kill switch running off the throttle servo....battery ran out and it went in wide open...

I suppose there will always be problems no matter what route you take.. I will probably second guess this now all day ! hahahah
Thanks for the input guys.
