CH 750 Viking Header Tank Installed
Hi Everyone! I'm on my second fuselage build (the first one was a "poor" build) and just installed a Viking Header Tank.
I used 1"x1"x1/16" angle (aircraft spruce) to replace the L's on the fuselage sides and bottom and added
one at the fuselage top behind the baggage angle to construct a rectangular frame. I used the same material to make two verticals to attach the header tank to. Then I reinforced each corner with 100mm x .040" thick gussetts made from scrap sheet material. The tank is accessible through the "bomb bay". and can be removed for servicing. Much easier to install during the fuselage build than to install after the build is completed.
