I used to use a Kyosho Inferno Wing spacer which works pretty well. HOWEVER, there is a perfect spacer out there... look beneath your tail boom clamp... can u see the 20mm metal spacer there? Thats what you want

Perfect fit, perfect distance and looks good.

I don't use a header anymore (so I could get Ink off my back) but when I used one, that was the top solution I came up with

Fuel Weight

Hi guys,

I just put my Vibe Fifty on the scale...I get is 8.3652lbs or 8lbs 5.843 ounces empty. I have added the KSJ 2oz. header. Tony, mine is where you HAD your header mounted.

Anyone know the weight of the fuel in the stock tank plus a 2oz. header? I'm trying to see what my heli weights off the starting pad fully loaded up.

I do get a full 8.5 mins of all out flying with this set up and 30% CP juice. Love the heli!

THANKS!

2oz header + spacer = 34gr (quickuk type with metal bracket)
2oz fuel = 48gr (the more nitro, the higher the weight)

82gr in flight total

I get 10 min without a header

Tony

PS - as an indication:
Methanol 99.99% purity 800gr per litre
Nitromethane 99.99% purity 1205gr per litre (comercial fuel nitro is only around 1195gr per litre)
