You're a good modeler man. Your attention to detail and ability to explain your technique go nicely hand in hand. Very easy to watch. Keep up the good work.
A small dab of oil will help putting the tubing on the tank nipples. Also thanks for using the proper terms in this build. Like tubing instead of piping. Tubing is measured from the I.D. And pipe is measured by its O.D.. And try to refer to the entrances to the gas tank as nipples. Enuf critical. Carry on. I can’t wait!
I enjoy your videos and am glad you're still making them, I have a few kits my grandpa left me after passing and am so nervous to get into the hobby, the information is harder to obtain than other hobbies but am hopeful I can make it all work! Also, my grandma is in the process of dismantling my grandfathers basement which is full of planes and parts of every size type and age, and more tools and plane supplies than one could imagine hahah, if you are interested, we want these to go to a person who will put them to good use! she also wants to be able to get fair market value for them but is completely unsure of what is what and what it might be worth, I would love to pick your brain about it. thanks!
Awesome that you have some kits from your grandpa, Im sure he would be pleased that you build them, and even if you ding them up a bit, we have all been there. I think I have enough tools, probably to many, but Im sure you can sell them on ebay. The nice thing about ebay is you can see the condition and model tools listed which helps you decide the price. You can always as a little more, put out for sale, and if no one bites, you can just lower the price.
There is something exciting about the inside of the balsa "technical room" in the rc planes, is it not? Very nice detailed video. The vent hose could have had an pitot tube for scale, maybe?, but may be this is not that scale a plane. Anyway, i enjoy your videos!
Grt vid gas intro. I'm about to venture into gas with an Evo 15cc gas into a HK Zlin 50 (ws 68) I think you an use the heat gun sparingly on the Tygon jst to make plyable over the fittings. Tks again
I hope not. I read an older forum where the builder put his tank right on the center of balance, and the manual suggests that if running the heavier DLE 20 to shift the tank back into the compartment above the wing. Let’s hope it works out. Thanks

Thanks! I appreciate it.
Drop the ends of the fuel line in boiling water to soften them up. Makes for easy install and good seal.
Awesome tip, getting a lot of good ideas. Thanks!
i really enjoyed tagging along and watching you build this kit from scratch! Its gonna come out really nice!
Thanks!, almost done, thank goodness 😊

Ottima lezione sulla differenza dei carburanti e la configurazione , è molto utile grazie
Thanks Marco!
Well done. Looks like the fuel system is very high quality components. Unfortunately I am only flying electric these days. Perhaps someday.
Thanks! It’s all good, no matter what you fly!

Thanks! And ya, great idea for a scale build.
I just use a little 2 stroke oil on the fuel tank, and the fuel tube slides on a little easier.

Thanks!, good luck with your engines as well.
Silicone spray the nipples - hose will slide on, makes it easier
Nice, I will try to keep that in mind next time . Thanks!
or you can use good ole vaseline
Way to far from the engine
