Tank Size For OS LA 25
« on: March 02, 2010, 05:53:01 AM »
 I have a Super Clown close to finish that will have OS LA 25 power.  I have 2 1/2 ounce and 3 ounce GRW wedge tanks.  Which size would be best for the OS 25.  HB~> HB~> HB~>

     Either will give you enough fuel for a full pattern on a broken-in engine, presuming the usual setup. You probably won't make it through the full pattern on 2 1/2 for the first few runs.

    But I would be a little concerned that they are too wide. How far is it from the peak of the wedge to the "base" (i.e the part that goes up against the fuselage). The wider it is, the further "uphill" it has to suck the fuel.

Brett...the 2.5 ounce tank is 2" wide (peak of wedge to fuse), 2" long and 1.5" tall.  Her is a pic.

I like your model holder...I assume it's clamped in a vise. Gotta get me one of those built.

If you do a little bit every day it will get done, or you can do it tomorrow.

Yup...it is a painting fixture.  A piece of dowel that rotates in section of plastic PVC pipe clamped in a workmate, or vise.
