Hello,
Today I finally fixed the problem. I´ve had to buy the wing tank and I´ve connected de hopper to wing tank and the wing tank to main tank is the best way for this problem.
Definitely, You don`t ever flying with the plane without the wing tank as you indicated you will vacuum hopper. I cost me three bad landings and some "broken".
Thanks for you support.
Composite ARF not even replied to my email, I put them about 1 month.
Regards Daniel.

! As I have said many time the tank works as designed. All our UF in the UK fly with a stock set up, just a change to a high flow felt clunk. P-120, P-140, P-160 and P-180Rx all successful and trouble free...

When this happened to me in the field, I added Crow to drop the tail a little bit, and I slowed down more methodically by coming upwind clean, then pulling around to downwind and dropping the gear and takeoff flaps, then final flaps just before turning from downwind to final.. this made the time decelerating mostly under positive G.. the only time the aircraft was flat was on the ground.. that helped until I could get home from a meet and put in a High flow felt clunk per Davids advice.. this was a long time ago..
check clunk holes closely for slag and any clean up needed around the holes.. I had to drill mine out a little to open the hole a little. this was for a 160 motor.
If I were to build another flash, I would use Carlo's tanks, and use a felt clunk in the main tank. the wing tank would be smoke. This keeps all fuel connections permanent.. IMHO..
