Parallel Saddle Tank Setup
I've gotten feedback from pilots who like using a parallel tank setup so here is that diagram. The advantages of parallel are really the flow rate. With both tanks feeding the header/UAT, there is less strain on the fuel pump. That said, it is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL that the tube lengths from the two saddles are EQUAL. Uneven flow from the saddles will create a situation in which one of the saddles...
I've gotten feedback from pilots who like using a parallel tank setup so here is that diagram. The advantages of parallel are really the flow rate. With both tanks feeding the header/UAT, there is less strain on the fuel pump. That said, it is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL that the tube lengths from the two saddles are EQUAL. Uneven flow from the saddles will create a situation in which one of the saddles drains before the other, which will draw air into the system. You can avoid this by NOT flying until your tanks are dry and by ensuring that your clunk lines to the splitter are equal.

I wanted to share some pictures of my mechanics testing sled that I built. Right now it has a Roban 800 mechanics on it so I can test and make any necessary adjustments before I put it in the fuselage.

The tank cap already works. Now I can start with the hoses for the turbine.

Robert E.I am in desperate need of some help.
Don't respond if you know me ha ha.
My vario helicopters have always been gas power and now I have Skyfox mechanics and there's not one picture of any install anywhere even a direction's have assembly of the mechanics but nothing about installing the electronics with that setup.
Somebody out here must have assembled the skyfox mechanics with an electrical call...

Somebody out here must have assembled the skyfox mechanics with an electrical call set up.
I am a desperate need of 10 or 15 different angle. Photos of a setup to help me with this build.
Again I have the directions for the mechanics but there's not one thing about where anything mounts or goes when it comes to electric. Please help i'm desperate.
Thanks Bob
Hello,
I would like change my gyro and install an Axon on my EC145 Vario 1/6 turbine
Where did you install the gyro in the fuselage?
I would like change too my tank fuel tank, install 2 fuel tank.
Have you got photos of the installation in the EC145
Thanks for your return
Gilles

Rene G.Hay gang, I building a starwood Lama, I've noticed that some people use a UAT in the fuel system. I'm not sure it is needed on this model as the fuel tank is large and no 3D flying will be done. Also I only use half the tank in a flight.
Thanks for your advice!
After the last flight I had to find out at home that the UAT was almost completely filled with air. The Emcotec tank filling valve has probably not closed completely. The air got in here due to the negative pressure. It was damn close to a turbine stop. To protect against a fall caused by such a stupid thing, I have now installed a locking valve.
