I purchased a 4oz. tank from RSM on a recommendation from another modeler. Dennis will remain nameless.
It's for the Flite Streak, Skyfall 007.
Better "flite" time with the 4oz. and the Fox .35.
The tank is really nice, well made and shiny. Great tank RSM, way to go. Absolutely no complaints, I highly recommend these RSM tanks!
Interesting though, the copper tubes, I was thinking brass, but I guess RSM uses copper. No big deal there.
Anyway, the tank was to long, just a tad, for the FS. I know bummer.
I was going to send it back for the 3.5oz shorter tank, but decided to cut this one down instead.
Taking a tad less than .25" off the back end, I'm guessing I now have 3.75oz.? Close.
Yes, I also shortened both the uniflow tube and the fuel pick-up tube. One thing that wasn't really necessary, I straightened the overflow vent tube.
The task? Not as easy as one might think, but I did get it done.
Oh, by the way, that wire wing tip skid, the one I said could be used as a tool, it's in the photo, I did use it as a tool.
Took just under one hour.
Quick note here. I can't quite grasp how you benefit from the uniflow tube being so close to the pick-up tube in the tank? Actually soldered to it.
One would think it would disturb the fuel entering into the pick-up tube?
