A word of caution concerning the location of your header tank. It appears that you have it in the same location that I 1st had mine at. The problem is that the screw/bolt in that location goes into the plastic fan shroud in the frame, therefore preventing you from tightening it up properly. Mine would rotate and end up with the fuel line end pointing downward and the clunk pointing skyward (which could have ended up in a flameout if the engine sucked in some air from the air bubble in the header tank). I relocated mine using a standoff to the crank case ring mount. Look at this pic here:
This ensured that the screw holding it on the heli went into aluminum. I was then able to properly secure the header tank. Now it is pretty hard to move by hand and I am confident that it will not move during flight.
Just thought I would let you know. Good luck.
