Larger fuel tank for the Spectra

[ddavison]

For the ones who wish for a larger tank and also be able to see their fuel level. This is what I did this year, remounted the engine with the head forward. This gave me room at the rear for the standard 500 MinAir Extreme tank. It made for a more compact engine/pipe mounting as can be seen in the photos.

I have done the same thing as well. Make sure that the tank is clear of the muffler and cannot move. Mine did once and it was a shortened flight! :wink:

I'm sure you've seen my config already. If you don't want to swap the engine around the dubro 16oz fits perfectly under the canopy if installed inverted on the bottom of the radio tray.

The only drawback is that you can't see it in flight unless you cut the canopy, but I have learned that if you fill that tank you can fly hard 3D for 15 minutes and never run it out. I land with about 1/4 tank remaining and this is with a G26.
