A picture says a thousand words! Futaba lives here

It took 5 flights to do this after installing the new can, I noticed it when I pulled my canopy to pack up for home and the heat wave was awesome! I'd say there are no heat issues here LOL, ambient temperature was 90 deg plus to boot!
You should see the bottom of the gas tank, boy I could have gotten in trouble!

Fly safe!

Wow! That could have been very, very bad.

LOL, nothing but good equipment and good luck saved this one; I still have my Extreme Flight Yak!

No comments needed re pipe setup LOL

Is that the HS version that you have installed? If so its good to know they can stand up to high temps.

hughes500e · 08-14-2009, 02:22 AM

It is the HS version, for sure!

Funny, I was thinking about a smoke system that day LOL
