I am building a quickbuild RV-10 and want the SafeAir1 extra fuel tanks as I
fly to Central America yearly. Will these easily adapt to the quickbuild wings
and tanks? I have only received the tail kit. Just trying to plan ahead.
Thanks Jim

I have not used them, but my understanding is that they are made
specifically to be installed in finished wings as a retro-fit option, so you
just need to make sure you don't have any wingtip antennas and you should be
fine. You will need to do a little plumbing to get the fuel into your
existing tanks, but I think that is the hardest part of the installation.
Where do you go in Central America?

I installed them in my slow build wings. Yes you can put them in the quick build fairly easy. You will have to remove the fuel tanks from the wings to get the fitting in the tanks and hookup the hose from the pump to the tank. Once the tank is off, you install the pump and brackets for the tank in the wing nose section next to the tank. I installed them to be able to go and come home without buying fuel. I have my own tank and can buy gas a lot cheaper than at the pump.

Thanks for the info. I go on the Cen Am trip with the Baja Bush Pilots. We meet in Mexico and proceed to Guatemala, Nicaragua,El Salvador, Costa Rica and end up flying over the Panama Canal. Last year we had 26 planes. Without a doubt the trip I look forward to most every year. This will be my 7th year. Can't wait to fly the 10 down there. Anyone is welcome! Jim

I have had a couple of email conversations with SafeAir and they
assure me that the wings at the QB stage are an excellent time to
install the tanks.
