        My Aerotiger has 2 hours bench time and 3 flights
on it now ,what sort of fuel consumption should I be seeing.
Having trouble getting the pattern in with a 4oz Sullivan RST
tank.
Thanks

Hi Paul

The Aero Tiger uses about 4.5 ounces for a pattern by most flyers. That will depends on many things including  prop,  pitch, what nitro your using..etc..
But typically you can plan on 4.5 ounces for most  planes

Thanks Randy,just checked the tank capacity
with a SIG 2 oz syringe and the 4 oz RST tank
only holds 3.5 oz!

The plumbing and the clunk may account for the half ounce.  y1 H^^

Hi Paul 

Gary is correct, check the overflow tube to make sure you can fill the tank, This is also why I see many people lifting the plane and tilting it slightly to make sure the get the tanks full
