Right. Thin CA. I've never used Minnflyer's drilling into the slot, and I've never had one pull out that I installed. But it's not bad insurance.
The fuel tank is to be placed several inches forward of the CG ... but I would think the would unbalence the plane when the tank is full ...
The design accomodates this CG change.
Also, the firewall has a hole in it the size of a quarter. The directions say that the cap on the fuel tank should be placed in the hole...
This avoids having any fuel hoses inside the plane, lowering the probability of a fuel leak inside. When you insert the tank use a generous amount of RTV (Blue Glue, Silicone seal, or whatever brand) around the tank's neck, This adds to the fuselage sealing and becomes the forward mount of the tank.
You'll find first flight,
, Can give a hell of a fright.
But when it flies so pretty,
. You'll then purr like a kitty.
