Fuel Tank Question

Hey All,

Sorry if this should be in the getting started thread, wasnt sure where to put this.

I have just purchased a Raport 50 V2 SE. Got it all together and running, and in doing a lot of research on flight times, adjusting engine, etc. I seem to be ok...

However, my question is.. is there an oversized fuel tank available, or can I add a second header tank (it has one now)? Something to give it more fuel capacity without really borking the flight characteristics, or causing a mid-air stall with a rigged fuel system. Just something to give it maybe 5 -10 mins or so more flight time...

Any suggestions?

Yes i am a RC copter newb, so please be gentle....

Have you installed a header tank?

Flight times will vary depending on engine, setup and flying style.

I am not doing any 3D yet and I have a TT46Pro engine installed with a Funtech HN50 muffler. I recently did some fuel consumption checks and it is incredibly frugal. After a timed 10 minute flight I had just over half a tank of fuel remaining plus the header. I guess that I can go about 23 minutes if I wanted to. Normally though, 10 minutes of concentration at a time is enough for me.

i think the last coment is very good if you are looking for more flight time you are not working hard enought i have a raptor 90 and when i first got the new engine because i was running rich it was only six mins. on a 540 mil tank and a full header. now its about ten but i am ready for a rest when its only half gone.
