No right or left, the four wing tanks all gravity feed into a small center tank (dihedral you know) which feeds the engine and has the return line.
We do not have any baffles in the wing tanks however, some concern about that. There are only two planes flying with this setup so far, the prototype and Dick Gossen whose first flight was mentioned above, so it is still a bit of a work in progress..
Only a small 1/4 id tube from one wing to the other, we have discussed check valves to prevent backflow, but earlier tests seem to indicate it is not necessary. It would take a while for 10 gallons to flow from one wing thru such a small tube to the other. It can however flow to the small fuselage tank and overboard thru its vent if it wanted bad enough and the low wing got full of fuel. My Ercoupe used about an identical setup, and crossflow between the wing tanks never seemed to be a problem to my knowledge.Is there anything to prevent back flow from one side to the other?
On the other hand, Scott, we are prohibited from spinning by the POH even in the approved configuration. --- just sayin'.![]()
