Hi Walt
Peabody is correct , unless you really plan to use 15% fuel, in that case you may need more. I would suggest you do not start off with 15% nitro fuel, if you start flying teh plane in the spring try 5% to start then if needed go up untill the nitro is correct, remember, if you start with 15% in the cooler spring months you may need 25 TO 30 % to keep the run the same in the summmer

Thanks all, Looking at the plans there is six inches from F1 to F2 might be able to strech it to six and a half or go with a 8 ounce plastic. Randy I am building from one of your laser cut kits very nice. Will give updates as I progress.
