Has anyone received the wing package? If so does it appear possible to
place fuel tanks in the wings rather than the fuselage, with either an
installed tank or wet wing?

It is not possible to use the wing for fuel. Unless you want to design
your own plane, you will have to build it like it was designed. I have
completed one wing and only have the tip to install on the other one.

Jim, You're right on this one, and you're wrong, too. There are two ways to
put tanks in your wings.
One, get a letter of authorization from Van's allowing the change. The
letter must mention your aircraft's N number and it is good for that
airplane only.
Two, present the airplane to the FAA exactly as Van's designed it, get your
E-LSA airworthiness certificate, and then install them. Once you have the
ELSA AC you can do anything you want, all it takes is a log book endorsement
and put the plane back into phase one testing for five hours.

Rick,
One, I doubt that Van=92s will give a letter of authorization to do this
change.
Two, the wing is not set up in such a way that this would be possible.
It
is not like the other RV wings at all. That is why I suggested that you
would have to design your own plane, or at least redesign the wings.
That
would be a monumental task.
Jim

Jim, I didn't say it would be practical to do it, either way, just that you
could. :-)
