Fuel Tank Mount EXPERIMENTAL HELICOPTER BUILD SERIES (Part 27)

In this episode i mount a Aluminum Fuel Tank to the fuselage of a ultralight homebuild helicopter.
Rubber pads between the tank and the frame to prevent from vibration will be added in the final assembly.

The main reasons i located the tank in this position :
- the weight of the tank (fuel) low to the ground to help prevent a dynamic and static roll-over in my first stages of flight testing.
- I kept it close to the center of gravity (under the main rotor mast), to minimise the change in weight distribution as fuel is burned during flight.
- i did not want to locate the tank higher up closer to my head in case of a fire or leakage of the tank. (Safety Issue)
- practical to use the free space under the seat and i prefer the look of a fully integrated fuel tank instead of a tank attached for example to the main rotor mast.

This is part 27 of the EXPERIMENTAL HELICOPTER BUILD SERIES.
