And that "significant CG change" is in the wrong direction...the plane is at its highest instability of the flight when it comes landing time, which is the most difficult and critical phase of the flight. That's one reason I don't have a header tank. The other is the fuel in close proximity to lots of wires and electricity, not to mention my vital organs. You've probably heard that before from me though. There's more of that kind of stuff at http://www.n56ml.com/kopinion.html ... Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com website www.n56ml.com
