Too much fun to not have one or two.

Well the ones I bought are the part numbers that are listed on the Brodak site for the Bi-Slob. I didnt want to reinvent the wheel. Sullivan and Dubro clunk tanks go from 2oz to 4oz and skip that nice 3 ounce size that I would prefer. Hence going this route to the Brodak recommended tank. The other thought was the way everyone flies these things and fuel delivery. I wanted something that I wouldnt fight starvation issues. At this point I'll check out all the old tanks I have and see what fits but I may end up just building one. The Brodak tank just has standard venting and isnt anything fancy like a Uniflow tank.

Awesome.

Hey, I've done reverse wing overs into the wind with a slob.   Not no gale storm, I think about 10 MPH.

OK, but the three I saw flying at the same time were on longer lines. But I'll experiment until I get a 30 second lap. LL~Wait, just hover, that'll do it. 

I was using .012 x 58' lines on my Slob at Clanton.  FP-25 with Sullivan S-4 tank.

Ty, it sounds like you are hooked or slobbed whatever the case.

Are Bi-Slobs a pretty lengthy build?    What characteristic makes them able to hover and turn such sharp corners when a common sport or PA plane won't even come close?

10-12° engine offset & lots of elevator deflection.

Remember the days when I built a Sterling Gaurdian in one six day stretch.   Combat planes in less than three days because it took time for the Ambroid Glue and Testors dope to dry.   Now it takes me two weeks to complete and old time combat ship.  Pictures of it later.
