View Full Version : fuel and flight times
How much fuel is used between the main tank and the header? How many tanks per gallon is that gonna be? (Considering a typical flight will probably run down about 50% of the header)
Also how long a flight time do you get with both tanks full and running down to about half the header?
Are people running without the header tank? If so what's a typical flight time before you run out of fuel and fall out of the sky? ;)

The header tank is recommended. I set the timer for 6:20 and land at approximately 6:30 to 6:40 leaving approximately 1/4 tank in the header tank.
so how much fuel is that per flight?

Main tank - 6oz
Header tank - 2oz

128 oz to a gallon
6 oz tank + 2 oz header
6oz + 1oz ( half header) = 7oz
7oz divided by 128oz ( 1gal) = 18 flights
I don't like running into my header tank on my 600N so..
6oz divided by 128oz (1gal)= 21 flights
Thats twice as many flights as a 600N = 13.5 oz or 400cc tank but more flight time on the 600N

To be honest i'm trying to talk myself out of it.. But looking at design 1 basic on the 600N frames. All my old school days of drafting might just come in handy...:YeaBaby: "I think i can, I think i can, I think i can " Tommyboy already put myself on the list for one wishful thinking on his part .
