Just a thought.....what size engine are you planing on using?

I used a 6oz with a TT 46 Pro and was getting upwards of 14 minutes of flying time. An 8 oz may not be necessary in MHO! Used the same tank in both the DasPlasStick and the Debonair with good flying time in both!

As amatter of fact Gary, I am also using a TT 46 Pro and also get 13-15 minutes of flight time on a tank. I was just wondering about the feasibility of installing an 8 oz tank to get maybe an extra 5 minutes of air time.

I know that fuel tanks are cheap but in keeping with the spirit of SPADing, has anyone out there made a good homemade fuel tank out of what-have-you? Just something else to experiment with!

I stopped being politically correct when I found out that some people were offended by it.
