Hi Michael,
I made the wing leadingedge fuel tanks. I works good. My shift in the weight
and balance is not noticible thats great. It is a lot off work to make them,
but it is (I think) beter than the fueltank behind the firewall.

That is so true. Tip tanks, or outer wing tanks, carry with them great
advantages. Not only do they carry weight without affecting CG to any
significant extent, but unloads stress at the wing root, making f

a water leak will only show the worst possible leaks. Gas will pass
