Well, you guys know much more than I do about this stuff. I'll change things out tomorrow. Sounds like my concerns of it falling off may be me over thinking things again.

Well... we have all made those trips to the field and didnt get to fly due to little things. We can't help but to share and act like they never happened to us.

Wayne... Anti foaming agent? I had no idea there was such a thing, makes sense though to have it in some applications.

The tank should have some recesses so it can't slide forward or back? If not, you can put an eye screw in both ends to keep it from sliding. It should stay put though. We used to tie them on with rubber bands but you had to replace them periodically like wing bands.

I don't see that on their website now Ron. I will have to look at my fuel tomorrow. It used to say don't use afterrun either.

Recesses it has. This discussion leads me to ask this. My tower trainer has a plywood former that the tank fits extremely tightly in. Does this mean I need to enlarge that former opening? That tank is much tighter than my tribute is.

A majority of the model makers are not leaving room for padding the tank anymore. I speculate that too many people were not properly bracing the tank and a loose tank is worse than having the tank properly secured. A few have a nylon "U" that goes around the inside of the former but many don't. I would personally not try to modify it by cutting out the former. You may just wind up weakening the airframe.

Gotcha. Thanks again for all the tips.

Hey Tower, I was checking out the website for your field and noticed the list of hobby shops. Hobbytown on Markham closed down. Is there another one somewhere? That one was real convenient for me to hit, as I'm usually on that side of little rock, but Mark's is also a good shop.

Hobby Town has moved to the new shopping center off I-430. Mark's is where I go.

Oh, ok. I wasn't aware of the move. And likewise, I prefer Marks, but Hobbytown had the convenience advantage.

Last time I tried starting one manually, I wound up with a couple busted knuckles. I got lucky I guess.

That overthinkingit thing?

Note....when you fire it up it will melt all the crapo inside and will be spittin black and brown stuff for a bit....no worries, its all old castor (which is what saved your engine while in storage )

Yup, Yup, Yup, looks like rust to me. Keep it on the rich side for a bit - extra lube.

I was expecting some nasty "crapo"at first, but thanks for confirming it for me.

DOG I don't belong to facebook and I was able to look at all those photos. I really love the one when 3DHS was doing the radio demo and the plane's wing is toughing the ground.
Big snow on the way K49 you better make tracks home. It's all courtsey of wayne.
I'm not complaining a bit. Thanks Wayne.

It is in the panhandle. We only have some wind.
