Donald D. Heliman Location: Stevens Point Wisconsin
| I've recently finished building my Falcon SE2 and was very happy at how things went together. I want to run a header tank on this helicopter, but I am perplexed on how to mount it. The problem is that the main fuel tank and fuel fittings stick out where the header needs to go. I've thought of building a bracket around the right side of the main fuel tank, mounting the header to it, and bolting it to the metal frame of the helicopter. The only problem here is that the frame is not very wide and drilling it may weaken it. Another thought was to mount it to a bracket behind the main fuel tank, under the boom. The problem here was the length of fuel draw to the engine [OS50SXH]. I would appreciate some input from Hawk and Falcon owners on this one.
Thanks
Don |
