Installed the fuel tank last night. It seems awfully high to me which doesn't make sence because there is plenty of room below it to line up the centerline. What did you guys do?

I installed it in the stock position, no problems in flight so far. I think the only reason they have it so high is because the fuel tank is fairly far back from the firewall, so they are trying to prevent a fuel draw problem.

Thanks. I'll keep it stock also.

Also, if you build it as a tail-dragger (and who wouldn't) the tank position is lower as the plane sits on the ground.
