I think the idea behind the backwards tank is that during the turn the fuel is pushed to the back of the tank from centrifugal or centripetal force effectively increasing fuel pressure during the turn. This only works if the tank outlet is behind the pitch axes; (balance point) if the tank is in the nose
Centripetal Force??? Whaaaa........!! Realy? I mean Realy??
I did it as a joke, just to get people revved up!
I must claim credit for starting a trend though. I see that "Painted in the Mold" airplanes are being painted backwards.
Must be something to do with the Centrifluidicalgraviflomaskotapeostickyon manner in which the paint flows to the bottom of the mold.
