Having hung upside down by the seatbelt with a header tank on fire I definitely prefer to have all the fuel in the wings, but I had a Midget Mustang with all the fuel in the header tank and currently fly a Mustang 2 with just a header tank. I would certainly put all my fuel in the wings if I was

Awsome! Thanks for all the inputs! I will retain the current configuration. One of the things I really liked is the simple fuel qty indicator - see through pipe! I am glad that the CoG shift would not be a problem and the tank should be much safer during crashing. I do not expect to fly for

Hi Guys The partial KR2 (original design) I have bought is fitted with an aluminum fuel tank in front of the instrument panel. From the information I have available this is not a good idea (shift of CoG, fire danger etc.) Would you advise that I ditch this and create wing tanks? Given all
