The other thing to consider in this case (not a big deal, but something to be careful about) is the possibility of fuel spills while refueling.  The vertical mount on the frame would put the 2-in-1 regulator farther away from such an eventuality.

hi everyone,

trying to revive this post again. had some time on hand, so quickly sat down to finish with the last few bits and bobs.

at home : gyro 401 and the ar7000

canopy comes on !

cant do without some bling...so these are the quick uk canopy support mounts

LAVNEET !

thanks to you that i started work on it after your call.

cheers

Is the muffler pressure line not connected ?  In the pictures, it does not seem to be routed through the hole provided for that purpose.

Also, in one of the pictures, the fuel refill line seems unusually long (enough to get caught under the landing skids).

She looks beautiful, and ready to lift off !  Neat wiring too

I am glad you did, I can call you every day now to make sure you finish!! BTW may come to pune for a few days next month. Lets connect. Plan is still fluid though.
cheers

since its a ys engine, i wont need to connect the muffler feed as it works on the tank pressure.
the second feed had been tied down to the underneath of the landing skids and will not come in the way. i kept it long so that its convinent for me to remove the stopper each time before i refuel. since the tank is under pressure, the second feed has to be unplugged first.

Ah.. forgot the YS "pumped" part ! Guess you have to finish it in one shot now !

Know nothing much about the nitro machines. Got curious to know how long it flies on a tank full of fuel. Contemplating a 600/700N loot from the nearest hobbyshop, when the next tornado strikes


Anwar ji, how much airtime do you get  on your 600N full tank?

Depends on your style of flying, and engine settings.  I have my timer at 7:30 minutes.  A header tank adds close to a minute extra.

Oh, I was thinking the nitro machines flew till your neck aches (if you ignore engine/motor temperature constraints, I mean). So, it's kinda a similar story(almost) as batteries you mean?

Those are gassers, not nitro.  Some fly for like 25 minutes a tank (I have flown at least one like that).  You can get close to 11 or so minutes on a Trex 600, if you do scale type flying, and a well tuned engine.  Electrics typically don't last that long.  The average flight time of a Trex 600E doing 3D is about 5 minutes.

Does align have gassers? Only nitros and electric right? Guess it's time I read a bit 
And can we feed a gasser while in Kerala?

It has been rumored that they are going to come out with one soon.

Yes, gassers would be very nice, where ever in India !  All you need is regular petrol and 2T oil.

Oh,you blessed my ignorance. I thought they always accepted only air grade gasoline!!

In that case, getting a gasser is what you suggest?(Not soon though)

Will try the link, thanks.
