Dene, I just tried the wing tank site http://www.krnet.org/wingtank/ and it loaded up fine for me. I secured my tanks by installing a piece of 1" aluminum angle from the front spar to the rear spar for the tank to sit on. Put one at each end of the tank. The tank should sit loose on the two angle rest...do not hard mount the tanks. Now fill in the space between the tank and the spars with a product called "Great Stuff". This is a foam insulation in an aerosol can and when cured remains quite spongy. After you do that you will not be able to remove the tanks without cutting the foam out. My reasoning for doing it this way is because the wing will flex some and by securing the tanks with the spongy foam allows for flexing of the wing without flexing the tanks too. By keeping the tanks from flexing with the wing, I hope to eliminate any leaks which could occur at the tank seams if the were flexing.
Yes, I am working on my wings. Installing a landing light lens on the left wing right now. Did the trailing edge flox thing on the right wing earlier today.
