1/2 A stunt pattern
« on: July 21, 2013, 08:51:48 PM »
If you waqnted to fly the full stunt pattern How much gas would the tank need to hold.
I realize that with out having a precise blend for fuel and prop. to be exact but are we talking about 1.5 ounces or less or more ???

Depends on the engine, plane, line length and diameter, prop, altitude, fuel mix, compression ratio, weather, at least.

Having laid that on you, in my experience, a NV or AP Wasp .061, on 10% Nitro, 45 ft .008" d lines, APC 5.5x2.5 prop, sea level, moderate weather, can do the pattern on 25 cc of fuel. A TD.049 needs about 40 ccs. Drilled venturis and pressure feed make it anyone's guess.

So far, my Medallion .049 seems to do the pattern OK on 25ccs  on 38' lines.

Hope this helps.
