Maybe I missed it or something.
What about the slosh factor? I mean if
all four tubes are half full, isin't
that setup capable of generating some
problems with balance?
Are there some kind of baffles in the
tubes?

Yes, you would pr
None of the Yankee series aircraft use baffling in
their tubular tanks. They are almost 6" diameter and
over 8' long.. No slosh problem.

Responding to Flesner questioning slosh in tube used fo tank and Ron Wright
response about the American Yankee
which used a 6" tube @8' long.
That is correct about the Yankee and also the BD-4.

The BD-4 does use a 6.8" tubular wing spar, but it doesn't hold any f
aerodynamics.

Larry,
I own an AA1 and it most definately does have baffles. The slosh factor is
still so important that the airplane is labeled " no spins" more than three
rotations and the fuel is forced through the baffles to the wing tips. This
starves the engine while increasing the spin rate. Pilot funer
