RE: fuji film canister tanks

I have been using Kodak film canisters for fuel tanks. They have worked fine for me. I have three in use now. I can't use a fuel pump because it pops off the lid so I use a 2-ounce syringe.

My first time flying a Diamond Dust

For my 16th birthday in 1940 my two aunts and two uncles chipped in to buy me a mighty atom engine and a free flight kit. That was big money then. I used white gasoline and 90-weight oil for fuel. ...

What do you LIKE the most about this hobby

I like hot dog flying and watching others fly, even trainers. At the field I like to talk RC, and a joke or two, not about vintage cars, fishing ext. So I generally sit alone and watch the planes...

I don’t know where the time goes. I don’t seem to have as much time as I did when I was working and had kids at home. I don’t watch much TV especially reality shows. I watch some of the news and I...
