Rob,
I added a partial rib with slosh doors made of standard MS hinge material.  During testing, I was not able to get the engine to stumble with cyclical rudder inputs until the tank was truly empty.

Wow!  Lots of great advice from everyone.

I just grabbed the rudder because I'm still finishing off my stub wings, need to re-organize the garage to work on the wings, and am trying to finish my h-stab cradle.  From the manual, the rudder looked like it would be fairly easy to put together and I'd need it when I move on to doing the vertical stab.  Boy was I wrong!

Anyway, I might put this back away for another day and go back to my h-stab.

Also, it looks like I'll need to get plans or blueprints for the slosh bays for my wings since I'm not doing a header tank.  Anyone have anything to share?  Can I still get these from Lancair?

Thanks for all of the help and beating down my spirit.  :)

-Rob
