    Does anyone have pictures, or any factory information, on how the fuel tanks are supposed to fit into the wings? Are they mounted in somehow, or do they just sit in there and rest on the skins? I saw some of the pics on the factory disk, but they aren't very helpful (unless I'm missing the ones I'm looking for). Also, does anyone know of some 640 builder's websites out there? Christian Tremblay had a great one with lots of good pics, but he got rid of it. Thanks -------- Mark s/n 094 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=331048#331048

    Hi Mark, The fuel tank needs to be laid into the wing cavity, with enough cork to ensure a snug and consistent fit at all points. The weight load needs to be evenly supported by all of the rivets holding the leading edge skin to the spar. Unfortunately, this part of the wing documentation is a bit light. Christian's site was the best one out there. Jeff Paden's site is also down. Perhaps you could start one? -------- Scott Stewart s/n: 0092 Building from plans Rudder and Stabilator complete.

    Mark, I have a single picture of mine. They just sit in there on cork.

    Chris has an earlier post on the ext. range tank on page 2, but it doesn't show the tank installed in the wing. I think the 601/650 has a"similar" installation. You might have a look at some of their info. I'm going to build my own tanks, as I'm going with a 4 tank installation, and the cost of 4 factory tanks will pay for a good TIG welder. Once I make the forming dies, I can make any number of tanks, if any one is interested. -------- Craig Smith CH640 builder SN: 0078 &quot;Just think how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of them are even stupider!&quot; --George Carlin Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=331073#331073
