Herb: Probably just as well you need to build the wings for that way it will be an easy job to install tanks in the wings. Also you can build it with the longer KR2s or Diehl wings and get the stall speed down which shoulde make meeting "Sport Plane" specs a posibility if not now later on. It should be slow enough to get there with engine the plane has with only a careful prop selection. I just took over a prject but the long wings are done and will be putting a 9 gallon tank in each one so I will need to open them up and then repair them. I used the "AirCalc" program and it says my stall should be 45 kts @ 900# or 51 mph @ 887#. Of course if you are flying with a 3rd airmans medical none of that will be an issue. I am 63 and I am just going to fly w/o medical on my pvt. ticket.
You will also be able to nav lights and strobes in your wing tips when you build the wings which is a plus.
