Skywriter smoke pump

16oz foutitude fuel tank and 16oz smoke tank

SWB servo arms

Sub'd [MENTION=214]3dbandit[/MENTION] what kind of flight times are you getting or think you'll be getting with 16oz tank?

I think I should get 5 or 6 minutes.

Looks good Jacob, excited to see the build

Why not go with bigger tanks? doesn't add all that much weight and you don't have to fill them all the way if you want lighter and shorter flight.

Actually, if your flying hard you should really fill the tanks all the way. Using bigger tanks that are only filled half way will let the fuel slosh around a lot and go to the front of the tank.



Also, it is hard to tell how much fuel you are putting in without taking off the canopy.

This is on my future must have list, looking forward to your build.



I agree with daytona having had four 120's, you will want that 32oz tank at least. 16oz is great for smoke if used sparingly. The 120 is a monster and 16oz of fuel it will not even notice.

I have had many 120cc planes and feel I will be just fine using a 16 oz tank.



For now, this plane will be used primarily for IMAC Freestyle and next year's XFC. I will need a 6 minute flight time at most.

That's cool, that's actually why I am looking at this plane.....just recently addicted to IMAC (but still 3D throwdown at heart). I need a good IMAC plane that will fit in my long box truck for road-trips without a trailer. I've got the 176cc Extra and it's almost like cheating at IMAC, but I just can't take it everywhere.
