I am scratch building a 1/2 A speed plane for the first time and plan on using a stock 049 Tee Dee for power. Since I have no experience with Speed Plane's or the Tee Dee
I am wondering what is the smallest size tank I can use to get about 15 laps on 35 or 40 ft. lines. I am building a built up fuse & its only 1/2" wide. I plan on opening the fuse 3/8" & letting the rest of the tank extend out the side.
The design is from the Desert Rat from the Outerzone which ran with a 35 size engine, I have played fast & loose to bring it down to 1/2 A size!
Can anyone give me an idea of how many oz. of fuel it would need ? Brodak has several tanks from 1/3rd oz up.
Also if anyone has a 049 Tee Dee for sale please let me know!
Thanks for your help, RK Flyer
