Tank for a Voodoo
« on: August 17, 2016, 07:19:20 AM »
I just asked the same question in the building section. What would be a good commercially available tank for a Voodoo. I don't want to use a preasure bladder, just want to fly for fun. Motor will be a Fox 35x with the venture insert installed.

In the past, I've used a Sullivan 2 oz with good success! :)

Just a thought, if you can find the same tank style, I would get it vented uniflow.

I tried just a tank on a wing once and yes it was fun but not exciting so back to pressure bladders after that for the full combat experience.

It would seem the easiest set up for a Voodoo would be pacifiers.

You're right Rich it would be, but i'm in my high 60's so iwas thinking a little slower would be easier and more fun to fly.

Pressurized fuel systems do not make you faster (not by themselves anyway) but they sure make life easier.  Venturi size and prop selection can keep things as slow as you would want.

I still liked the Goldberg set up as it was easy and reliable once you learned how to do it.  I can still remember the standard vent tank on the T-Square behind my McCoy Redhead .35.  Yes there was a big difference between it and my first pressurized engine set up.   That was when I learned that the new series K&B did not like high speed maneuvers.  Went through a couple of crank shafts.
