It is going to sound kind of odd, but I live near KENW/KBUU and would suggest you follow Larry's advice. As silly as it sounds, Country Thunder ( a CW event) is happening down the street from Twin Lakes WI and it always rains with thunder (literally) during the event. Having said that, Fox6

No header tank. I don’t like the idea of gas in the cockpit. Also for those inquiring minds, my CoG would only move 3/4” from full to empty. I never had any CoG problem. The fuel pumps are electric Facet. Each tank has it’s own pump. I have an Ellison on my Corvair engine and if the electric
