Default RE: Fuel Tank placement question..

As said above, based on advice from Darryl Cady... A Bladder tank isn't going to do what I want it to do. He suggested using Hayes or Dubro fuel tanks to run the Hopper tank setup.
I don't know who Darryl Cady is but he is flat wrong.  Although I don't think a bladder tank is necessary, and wont help, it also won't hurt.  Also a hopper or header tank won't help, but won't hurt.  They are both used to insure a full flow of fuel is maintained for aerobatic manuvers, something you won't be doing.

See the attached link.
