I'm considering installing trap doors in both my tanks, and don't plan to use flop tubes. Will have floats as well.
Anyone have any thoughts/input on this idea? Am I wasting my time with this idea for a little extra fuel in positive G maneuvers?
Thanks,
Alf,
I hadn't considered some of your points regarding slips and and crosswind situations for these trap doors. That alone has convinced me to install them in both tanks.
Thanks so much for the great advice.

Not really required but I made a pair of trap doors just because I could. The additional cost is next to nothing and since I was in the neighborhood anyway, felt 1/2 or 1 hour of additional labor an insignificant investment in construction time. When you build an RV, you get to pick your own battles, like everybody else does.I'm considering installing trap doors in both my tanks......Anyone have any thoughts/input on this idea?.......
