Faffing about making things and maybe even saving a few quid is one of the parts of aeromodelling I've been enjoying for 50 years.

RE: No Room For UAT...
Its true, the art of building and making things is fading fast, however that aside, many modelers simply don't have the time to sit and 'make' a UAT or other items for that matter - those with time to spare a lucky people, I wish I had more [

Shaun I have never used a UAT in any of my turbines. I have always done a header tank like you have. I have never had any trouble doing it that way. George

I have thousands of flight on all my turbines without a UAT. Normally just a 4 oz Dubro with a Large Felt clunk suspended in the center of the tank. Never had a flame out!

Have Marc's CAT in my Ultra Lightning....see CARF Lightning Install post here
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11013397/tm.htm
its in the 2nd pick. Marc we modified (ok, John R did it) how we mounted it-used your mount and cut a slots into the existing hole so we could mount it and use the o-ring to allow for easy removal.
AWESOME product. going to get two for the Ultra Flashes on the bench.
what size should i get for the UF??
thanks

Hi,
I ended up making a bubble trap out of a DuBro 2-ounce hard plastic tank. I used a pleated paper filter from O'Rieley's and some of those fittings from Todd at Dreamworks. Actually, I ordered the fittings from Todd (which showed up a few days later lickety-split) but then lost them
I Plan-B'd to a Sullivan fuel cap fitting which I had to trim with a dremel so that it was relatively flush with the inside of the tank. All-in-all, it cost me around $15. No shaking or purging, and when I tested it, it delivered bubble-free fuel until just over half of the paper clunk was out of the fuel. I do believe my last UAT was my last UAT.

Regards the UF it depends on space and the turbine size - always put the largest in if you have room.
I am shipping another order to Todd later this week so if he is out of stock on some sizes he should be OK next week.

RE: No Room For UAT...
Sorry, I shouldn't have been so firm but " your and you're, there, their and they're, off of" etc to mention just a few are so misused these days. My cooment was triggered as I have just had an email from a bank which simply didn't make sense such was the English. Texting etc. is taking its toll !

David,
I liked your correction. I am astounded at the bad grammar regularly seen here on RCU. You would think someone who could afford a turbine would know simple English rules such as contractions, possessives, etc.

Marcs,
I wasn't singling you out with my comment. Sorry about that if it seemed that way. I was just lamenting the butchering of the King's English you see here every day on RCU. I'm afraid social networking and Twitter are taking their toll.
