Yellow Aircraft F-16C (Green Fuse) Saddle Tanks
I've got a YA F-16C kit (Older style with green fuselage) that came with a set of saddle tanks already in the kit. In the instructions and on the website, Yellow Aircraft lists two options for using saddle tanks in the kit--A1501 18oz and A1503 24 oz. I have no idea what kind came standard with the kit, but would like to know what I've got so if they are the smaller size I can upgrade to the larger tanks for longer flight times. I've attached a picture of what I have if that will help identify them. I believe these were actually included with the kit and were not purchased separately as an option as they have no label on the bag. If anyone can help me ID them, I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks!

Hi,
They were bought as an additional item. It should have a number stamped on the side of the tank. If not, there's a simple way to tell. Pour water into one of them, then pour the water out and into a measuring cup. Multiply your measurement by two and you'll know which ones you have.
Hope this helps....

Both tanks say YELLOW-FUNKEY in the middle and have an R and an L printed on the bottom of each to denote placement. Other than that, there are no markings. I'm probably not going to use them, so I was trying to avoid even opening the bags they are in which is why I was hoping someone could ID them!

I used Sullivan DF tanks on mine. They are 11 oz each, and with 2 oz header tank, I carry 24 oz total.
I don't have the part number handy, but can get it for you if you like.
