Why do you need one?

Hi David,
I am running OS shz-ps with fuel magnet and engine go lean under 1/4 tank. I already change foam but still lean. I want to try without fuel magnet and put a header tank on it.
Regards,

Maybe wrong. But don't think that is going to cure the problem with the motor going lean.
I use the fuel magnet and the new tank. Motor goes a little lean about 5 seconds before it quits due to be out of fuel. I am using Cspec with OMI cline and BB carb.
Only time I use a header tank is for more fuel capacity. It takes a couple extra ozs to get thru the F3C patterns.

My conversions came with the fuel magnet. Yes I would use the fuel magnet in every heli you have. The fuel magnet works great in all applications.

This how i mount mine.. those picture were taken by some people during my 3DX competition in Singapore. I just use double sided tape and stick the tank on and cable tie it. Hope it give you some idea how to mount..

Dear Kenny
thanks for the pictures. I can see the header tank is tie from the back of fuselage and used the double side tape to keep it on the main tank side?

Yap =) that's one of the easiest way to do, From my point of view hahas.. But once in awhile you might need to change the tape.

Kenny, since you've mentioned it, is there any video on the recent 3DX (Singapore)? I heard it was a great event. Can't make it at that time due to Hari Raya. Appreciate if you can post some for us to view.
