Should I / we install an additional header tank?

[puma1824]

Was thinking about how to increase flight time, besides going flybarless , and my friend Chuckie (from here and RR) was out breaking in the motor with me, commented jokingly you can put another header tank on the other side.

What's everyone's thought on this? Will the additional weight have diminishing returns?

My 6.5-7 minutes is just fine. Plus, I don't want to add more weight to it.

Puma What your flight times ? I think the weight is going to mess with your flips and roll rates ..... The lower landing gear looks cool but a hard landing and the battery could be trash.... If you do try the extra header tank you might want to flip the tail servo so the weight is more to the other side. I did this on might as i run a JR 8900 servo ..

Right now during break-in I'm getting just under 5min drying out header tank. I'm currently running 1 1/2 + 3 clicks out.

As for the landing gear/battery, I relocated the battery so it sits in more not resting again bottom of skids anymore. Should be more clearance.
