I like what David had to say. For a while I though about installing auxiliary
fuel tanks, so I listened for ideas at Sun 'n Fun. I met a RV-8 builder from
Indiana (Evansville?) that decided to build a partially wetted wing, "like a Mooney."
Sounded interesting, but it won't work for QB wing.
Regarding plumbing to the tip tanks, consider using 1/2" diameter bushing (O.D.)
and purchasing a 1/2" step drill and modified extensions (I think you'll need
three or four) from Avery tools. If you can't find drill extension in the catalog,
call ask for Bob Avery. He'll give you the part numbers and advise.
Another approach would be to weld the drill bit to a slightly smaller rod.
Cheers,
John

An easier is to just make a drill extension from a steel rod of what ever length you need (less than $5) and a one piece set screw coupling from www.mscdirect.com you can find them in the lower left corner of this catalog page
www.mscdirect.com/PDF/PDF03/3549.pdf
or from www.mcmaster.com on this page of their catalog
