Just a quick question about fuel tanks.
What material should I consider for their construction?
The only one I really don't want to use is aluminium, as it is vulnerable to some fuels.
I have seen then made from brass (and most of the R/C tanks I used were brass as well), and it is how I have drawn them, but I just wanted to run it by a few of the more knowlegable.
These are 6 tanks, 3 each side spaced between the ribs along the leading edge to give minimum shift of the CG as they drain, connected thru the ribs with drain and balance tubes.
This gives me a total fuel load of 265L(70gal) or 155kg(341lbs).
