Hello to everyone,

Working on my completion of Model 1 SN133, which was originally built without the fuselage tank but with two six-gallon wing tanks. I don't think the original builder thought that situation through completely, since the CG ends up way aft under those circumstances. I'm adding some ballast up forward to compensate for flight tests, but I'd like eventually to add back the fuselage tank, either an original or a copy. I can weld aluminum if necessary.

I need maybe some photographs, drawings, or possibly a description of the tank itself to start the process. Anyone out there have anything? Original capacity was apparently somewhere around 9.75 gallons, arm forward of the datum, which makes quite a difference.

Any and all thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated ...

Thanks in advance and Best Regards to all,
