Fueling

[kph]

I am a newbie, and have just started building a Raptor Titan 50. I know that this is going to sound like a stupid question....but, how do you fuel the helicopter? Does the fuel first go into the header tank and then into the main? Thanks in advance for your help.

You have to put a T filter between the header fuel tank and the carb. The left and right side of the T goes to either the header or the carb. the bottom of the T gets a 2" piece of fuel line with a pinch plug attached to it. You fill it by plugging into the 2" line. Make sure the line towards the carb is pinched off so as not to flood the carb when fueling.

You don't really need to have a T filter, but if you don't have one, you have to pull the line on the input side of the filter, fuel through that tube, and then reconnect it to the filter afterward. That's what I do on my T-Rex 600N.

Yep, either way I just find my way more convenient for me.

Have mine set up the same as terrybeb (http://helifreak.com/member.php?u=23489).

To answer the OP's question. It will fill up the header tank then the main tank. When you de-fuel the heli it will drain the main tank first then the header.

This way there is also usually no air bubbles in the header tank after fueling up.

Thanks guys. Great info. Will run the engine for the first time today.
