I am now installing Johanson tanks on RV6 wingtips.
These have no baffles, I am pondering the CofG effect of say half-full fuel moving fore and aft according to the pitch angle.
This could be equivalent to 50 lbs or more moving along the aircraft axis, with consequent pitch control effect. So the loading CofG (absent tip fuel) needs to consider this.
I wonder whether anyone has done the tip fuel CofG versus pitch angle calculations? The tank shape is rather complex so a spreadsheet may be laborious .
