Mine is not held on by straps, rather it has a piece of aluminum angle riveted across the rear bottom of the tank and bolted to the bulkhead. The front part rests on an aluminum angle shelf. I can't figure out how this could have sagged because it is very rigid. I think maybe the whole plane is just bent, though I never noticed any flying problems. It has a patch and some serious wrinkles behind the nosewheel and on the sides and belly, I think somebody folded it. Not sure if it could actually bend that much, though!
