Thanks to Ray Copeland and Clancy Arnold, I have some 2 mil plastic bags to play with. I made a couple of tanks with them and flew one today. The performance was excellent. Now I need to fly it for several weeks to evaluate durability.
Those of you with calipers or micrometers, sneak into the kitchen and measure all your wife's baggies! We need brand names and specific items listed by film weight.
Clancy sent me some 1.5 mil bags, and I will also try them out. Lighter is better, of course since the fuel will drain more evenly and conform to the container better.
My Nelson Head/Brodak .049 does the full pattern on 25cc of 15% Nitro on 46' lines with a Master Airscrew 6x3 prop, just for reference.
