Just bought a secondhand alloy drop tank for my lj. Its a price engineering tank. Looking inside, it has no baffles.
Is this going to be a problem?
Cheers ant

Hi Ant,

 

Slop Slop, side to side is no good, you will need to put Baffles in as the force could go against you in flight.

 

 

I am having a Drop Tank under the RAT,

 

and am now having the XU1 Tank,

 

with a drop tank around the base ( full LC width ),

 

straps, and Baffles.

 

Just to add an Idea.
