Fuel tank question

[TJay 1041]

Got my kitfox tanks today, gotta say they look really nice, question is the tank sticks above the 1 and 3 rib between an 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch, should I just add an 3/16 of an inch to the 1 and 3 rib capstrip and feather it out at the leading edge and trailing edge of the wing, do you think that would affect anything, have a look at the pictures and let me know.

TJay this just came up recently. Anyone know what to search for to find the thread? I believe what you described was basically the fix. Try typing fuel tank or capstrip key words into the search.

Found it thanks for the reply

For what it is worth - a couple of us have added another capstrip to take care of this - it works.

I cut some strips out of old wood paneling and used 9460 to glue and blend.

(Should give you about .001% more lift in the prop blast area!)
