Hi Mark T,
Tip tanks could work. Slightly extended wing tips could also work. I have been
thinking about adding these to my TR-1 due to the larger engine I am installing.
You can also get into the last bays via a hole in the last rib. This hole is easy
to patch since it is not seen when done. This can be done on the last inboard
or last outboard bay. I have done this in the past and used a 5" hole saw.
It is not all that hard to work via a 5" access hole but it is a bit of a pain.
Mark

the RV scoop and how he blended it onto the stock cowling. The part is about
80 bucks, but would remove the individuality that you have expressed in your
build so far. I must say Robert when I look through the pics of your build your
level of quality and innovation is first class. When Ken McCormick built the
airplane I have he spent 500 hours to complete the airframe. When I look at yours
I see more than 500 hours in the cockpit alone. Keep on Cruisin.

>Thanks everybody for you input on my fuel tank situation. One thing I should have
mentioned is it was fueled with auto gas. But it only flew about one year
and there appears to be no damage or any signs of leaking, plus all the fuel leaked
out of that big hole anyway. I plan to check the tanks out thoroughly with
some kind of bore scope. I hate the idea of cutting holes in the wing but I
will do what I must. Mark K how about this idea, if I cant use the existing
tanks-use the wing tips from the last rib outward and maybe make longer wing tips?
