Default Crash new plane re installing canisters

I need help,
I crashed my 35% Yak when the wing blew off.
Got a used plane (Aviation models extra 260 35%) that is canister ready but I have no clue on how to mount these.
The plane I crashed had directions and parts to mount my canisters but now I am starting from scratch.
I have plenty of room but I have to manufacture supports etc. How hot do these get? Is there an easy way to mount them?
Any ideas is appreciated.
Darren

Default Re: Crash new plane re installing canisters

Pics would help.....but here's an easy way.

Get some ply and cut holes just slightly larger then the cans Then drill a few small holes around that hole and feed silicone fuel tubing through them. Wrap it in and out of the hole for the can. Then tie knots in each end of the tubing and then feed in your cans.....should be a nice tight fit. For better results make two mounts, one for the front of the can and one for the back
