Aero Tiger .36
« on: March 21, 2012, 01:26:01 AM »
How much fuel can I expect to burn with an Aero tiger .36?
I will be making a couple of tanks this week but dont know how big to make them.

Thanks to all

Hi Larry.....
My only experience with one is in a Nobler....it used 4 1/4 ounces.....4 was a little short on occasion.

Have fun!

HI Larry,

I use 4 1/2 oz. tanks in all the planes with an AT .36.  Since we use 5% nitro most all year it is big enough.  I suspect that it would also be enough for 10% since we have to pull out a bit mist of the time.

Larry: Because you are such a swell guy I made a special trip to the Woodland flying field today and did some fuel consumption checks with my Olympic/AT36. Installed is an RSM 4 1/2 ounce tank. Using 5% nitro runs averaged 5 minutes 50 seconds. One rich run netted 5:43, a lean run almost 6 minutes. I have used 10% nitro in the past but if you set it just a bit rich, you are going to be short. The good news is that these engines run well on 5% and have plenty of power for mid-size classic models. Cutting to the chase. if you are making your own tank and have the room, I recommend 4 1/2 ounce minimum, 4 3/4 ounce better, 5 ounce best.  8)

Here in Tucson (about 2200 ft altitude I use 4.25 oz with 10 % nitro, 22% oil, and 5.5 oz with 15% nitro and 22%oil, to fly the pattern and about 8 laps on 63 ft lines center to handle) with a G. Nobler (40 oz).  Dead reliable either way, with one flip starts nearly every time.  Thunderbolt RC long plug and tongue muffler with 15 holes and no screws.
