I am building the tanks for an RV-8. The left tank has a flop tube and the right has a conventional tube. I decided to close the lightening hole on the second tank rib (counting from inboard to outboard) and put a trap door on both tanks. But then I was thinking?? If I go out and do spins, all the fuel is going to end up flowing outboard placing tremendous stress on the most outboard rib of the tank. Has anyone put trap doors on all the ribs to try and minimize the fuel flow outboard during spins or any other maneuvers? ![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
