Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

Minnflyer- Should I use a particular fuel tank in my Super Skybolt or do anything special in regard to the pressure my YS 110 maintains in the tank? There is a product out there now that is basically "shrink wrap on a roll". It's kinda like electrical tape but without the adhesive, is pretty thin (read light weight) and seems to bond to itself. I thought by wrapping the tank it might help the tank live a little longer.....Am I over-reacting to the possibility of a tank failure due the pressure? Also, a round tank is proper for a pressure vessel, a retangular shape is not......Your thoughts?

Also, I like the idea of inverted mounting the YS 110 in my Super Skybolt arf. How 'bout you? How was the YS hung on your old Skybolt? Horizontal, 45 degrees down or inverted? Inverted will make lateral balance a non-issue. I have not done any measuring on the cowl yet. Thanks.
