I think you miss the point. As mentioned arlier, they are in, they work, they are just not centered. In order to center them, it involves building another rib or someothing to position it...

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

One of my classic flash's had a Wren Super Sport with one the main tank (no wing tank) and it flew very well. I flew it off a 350 ft strip and it was great.
