A friend of mine told me about his Turtle-Pac for his upcoming around-the-world trip in a Piper. I checked out their website and found these smaller tanks (Turtle-Buddy and Big-Buddy): http://www.turtlepac.com/products/bush-plane-long-range-fuel-bladder.html

Looks like they will fit in RV-7's luggage compartment. But Big-Buddy may max it out by its weight. I am wondering if a pair of Turtle-Buddy tanks may fit in a pair of wing bays for better CG management?

How would you fit it in a wing and be structurally sound?

Does not Safe Air make a suitable system for an RV?
