header tanks??>.

[abyiss]

can any one tell me the size of a quickuk header tank,,in oz's...

what it is ..i use 2 oz header tanks on my raptor 90's..witch is bigger that quickuk version.

i am thinking fitting a 4oz header tank,,so i carry more fuel..???

what problems will i face?

[nightstalker]

I have a quickuk one and its a 2oz one, just run a long fuel tube to a gallon of fuel on the ground and fly all day

jez morecomb (sp) runs a plank tank and a header all in series on his helis to extend his flight times. its to do with how his club is run just run them in series and you will have no problem...

by that i mean, feed the maintank into the top of the plank tank and then the clunk from the plank tank into the top of the header tank then into the carb as normal.

..ok, so what if i just change my header for a bigger header..?.

what about when the engine leans off as its runing off header?..
runing the engine leaner...for longer.will this damage..(bare in mind im runing a tad rich anyway.

if you get what im saying..so i fit a 4oz header tank,,for a extra min of flight..lol

[nightstalker]

To be honest dude don't bother, its extra weight just for maybe 1 extra minute, just fly harder and do more in the time you have and you will be more than happy

[Ade_Law]

as long as you get the height of the header tank right it wont run lean/rich

if you get it too high it will richen once the main tank is empty too low and it will lean out.

you think?...

mmmm..but this is a 90r witch loves to drink fuel..lol.

ok i rekon i get 2mins longer ..im getting 7mins30..as i use timer ,witch engade the revloc. if you get me...
2mins more would be nice.

so the header has to be @ a hight.??

in line with carb?.

[nightstalker]

Could go elec
When i first started in heli about 15 years ago i saw a guy at the club have a 1lt bottle of pop stuck under the skids and he flew for well over an hour, it used to pee the plankers off big time

[Ade_Law]

i generally put it a fraction on the high side. centre of the header maybe 5mm above the carb ish. that way it goes slightly rich when your the right way up.
