I'm New Here
Hi,
I have just started my wing kit and am looking at the drawings. It shows a 1 1/2" hole in the bottom of the fuel tank nose ribs. Obviously to let the fuel travel between the cells. The drawings show a flapper door on a hinge to cover the same hole. Again obviously to stop the fuel from travelling outboard and starving the fuel pickup when your down to the short strokes of fuel quantity.
Question, did everybody install these flappers? The reason I ask is because a friend of mine has a completed RV8 and I looked in his fuel tank and see this hole but there is no flapper door.
Your thoughts?
Thanks
