Sorry Dan,
The original discussion was about the header tank, and weather it was
safe. I changed the subject line in my reply because I was replying to an
email that didn't mention the header tank. My bad.
Back to the original question, which had to do with the merits or
detriments of using a header tank and flying around with fuel in front of you.
While the best reason to do something is rarely "because lot's of other
people have done it that way", I do believe the fact that header tanks have
been used safely for many years on numerous airframes is a valid
consideration. Yes, some folks are constantly searching for a tricker neeter
way to
build a mousetrap, but using purely safety as a reason for the change may be
a little misleading.
That's all
Todd
