chicken hopper tank?

There have been several comments recently about the "chicken hopper" tank. Does any body have a drawing, pictures, or descriotion of this type of tank?

Ron,

You can do a search for "chicken hopper," I just did and there are way too many for me to go through. Even if I desparately wanted to see one...

And I do not remember any pictures coming up on this subject anyway.

If you simply want to see one in order to make your own, it's a waste of time. First, a picture of the exterior of one of these tanks does not show the internal plumbing (they are uni-flo, remember) or any other niceties such as the size of hole(s) between main tank and itty-bitty tank.

The best--and I mean very best--option is to simply buy one and fly with it. They are not overly complicated to make, but just one little booger and you'll think the rest of us are crazy, never to again use such a tank. Much to your loss.

So. Buy one. Use it. See if it meets your needs. If you want another, but cheaper this time, copy the first one. I wouldn't, and I know how to make these things, your choice...

Oooops! Big mistake.

My good friend Steve Helmick did in fact post a picture of exactly the tank I am using on ARF Flite Streaks.

The thread is, "Tanks for ARF Flite Streaks." Begun Jan. 09 of this year, last updated Jan. 13, 2004.

No comments about short-term memory loss will be accepted at this time. Especially from Helmick.

Dan, since you obviously searched and found the thread mentioned, the easy trick is to just copy and paste the url of the old thread into the new thread. Click on it...bang, you're there.

Ron,
There are some excellent drawings of the workings of a chicken hopper tank on the Tulsa Gluedobber workshop webpage.
