3W 157cc fuel tank size?
Hi guys,
I have mounted a 3W 157cc engine in my 33% Waco and I was wondering what fuel tak size I should run with this engine. I would like to get at least 20 minute flights and I am also going to install a smoke tank as well and this will be my 1st smoke system and I have no idea on how large of a smoke tank to install either.
Any advice would be appreciated.

RE: 3W 157cc fuel tank size?
In my Ultimate that had a 120 (now has a 160), I used a 40oz tank for fuel and smoke both. I'd easily get over 15 minute flight times and still have a little in the bottom of the tank. I'd go no smaller than the 40 for the smoke. You'll use alot. I have not run it with the 160 yet, so I can't give you run times with that.

Thanks guys,
I will go with a 50oz fuel and 50oz smoke tank, As this is not a 3D bird and I will only be doing basic aoerobatics I am not too concerned about the extra weight.
