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.

It shows 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? > >Mark T. > > >Read this topic online here: > >http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=406317#406317 > > >Attachments: > >http://forums.matronics.com//files/scotts_tr_1c_cowling_138.jpg > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kis-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/KIS-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kis-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kis-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
