Title: Hey - 1/2A Experts: Tank size for the BigMig .061?
Post by: Scott Richlen on June 05, 2019, 08:17:10 PM

A question for our 1/2A experts....

So, I'm trying to get ready for Brodaks 1/2A stunt event.  What tank size will get me through the stunt pattern?  Also, recommended prop?

Thanks!

Scott

1 oz tank (and you can then adjust the amount needed)

5.5x2.5, 6x2, 6x3 apc props

fuel wise:  15% nitro with 20-22% oil

Carl

OR, you can have some of my 60% nitro fuel and run a 2 oz tank on it.......   VD~ VD~ VD~

Scott,

If you need a tank in that size range, I have several boxes of them.  Not sure any are uniflow, though.

No, it went plenty fast on 20%.
