Need.....more....fuel.....repeat....

You think so, How much in your opinion, this for a 300 cc 4 cylinder

Well....I run my piped DA150 for 15 minute flights on a 64oz Ocean Spray juice bottle. Still have about 1/4 tank left. I wouldn't want any less as i like to fly when I get her up there! I have no experience with 4-cyl engines, but would assume a 300cc would burn roughly double what a 150 burns...?

you bring out a good point, I will have to rethink this, thanks for the heads up

while waiting for some glue to dry, I started toying with the rear instrument panel I still need to find French instruments since this is a French airplane

Lots of guys running the DA200 run a separate tank to each carb. I'm guessing your 300 has two carbs....?

Yes the 300 has twin carbs, but what if simply two gas line with one tank, what do you think?

No reason that wouldn't work. I was just thinking you can easily find 50-64 oz bottles and mount side by side.

good option , will look into it

fitted the 38 X 18 propeller, might have to go to a smaller one, and mounted partially the stab, but still need to make the front of the stab adjustable , since I need a stab incidence of about 1.5 degrees positive, but not sure exactly how much.

How about using hardwood shims that can be swapped out to fine tune incidence?
