Title: mounting a clunk tank
Post by: Sam Laughery on May 04, 2006, 09:53:47 PM

I'm switching my Cardinal to a clunk tank for a bunch of reasons.  I've tried a number of mounting methods with mixed success.  It's a 6 Oz. Sullivan seamless.  I'm sure someone out there has come up with the perfect way to mount a clunk on a profile.  Let's see what you've got.

Thanks in advance. #^ #^ #^ #^

Here's how I do it on a profile.  This is my profile Oriental.  In this case I used a piece of CF laminate that was laying around.  Plywood works as well.  Just make a mount to fasten the clunk tank too and notch it so the tie wraps won't slip.  I used brass inserts in the fuse and slotted the mount to make it adjustable.

Here is one idea I stole from someone. Works well and is adjustable.

Thanks guys.  I went with the laminate since I had a few small pieces and it worked out great.  I'm going to try and get in a bunch of flights tomorrow and I'll let you know how I make out.
