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...

Somebody out here must have assembled the skyfox mechanics with an electrical call...

How to build a Helicopter Refueling System

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.
