Get a aero-structures engineer to analyze loads & design the tanks to make sure they can handle the loads. This is no trivial task and should not be taken lightly.

Does anyone know of a valid reason for not installing 15 gal tip tanks on a Lancair IVP turboprop? I made provisions for
this when I was building, but to my knowledge it has not been widely done. Adjustment of the angle of attack on the tanks would be welcome.
Most comments on this would be appreciated.
