One of the things I'd like to do as I rebuild my S1, is to remove the wing tank from the top wing. I don't like the thermos cap sticking up in the wind and all the plumbing for the smoke system running down the rear cabanes. I really like the idea of ripping it all out to lose a little weight and a bit of drag.
None of this is a big problem, except I really want to keep a smoke system installed. I'm looking for ideas on other places to put a smoke tank. So far the only other decent place I can see is between my feet under the fuel tank.
Smoking Airplanes has a plastic tank that will mount down there, but I believe it is only three gallons. I was doing good to make 4 gallons last much more than 6 minutes unless I cranked it way down.
I could probably figure out a custom shape that would fit and hold at least 4 gallons, maybe a little more. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm still a ways out from tearing into the top wing, so I have some time to figure out a plan.
Thanks,
Ian
