aux fuel tanks
Building hobbico Twinstar, with the 4oz tanks per engine. Have decided to put 2 auxilary fuel tanks in the fuselage. Need advice on plumbing between the fuse and the wing tanks. Should I just thread the fuel line through the wing, and let it lay loose or should I run brass tubing for most of it? My only concern is about foaming.

You can go either way, I don't think foaming in the line will be a problem, but if you run hose you'll need to watch for chafing, and a hole being worn in the hose where it goes throught formers and ribs.

RE: aux fuel tanks
Thanks Bill, I thought about that also. Figured to either run it inside a larger hose or install some rubber grommets.
