One of the many differences between the RV-4 and the Rocket are the fill/vent holes in the tank ribs. The RV-4 inverted flight configuration makes sense to me; basically a swing check valve in the only big (1" fill) hole at the number two rib. The related vents are very small. What did the Rocket community do with the second (1.5") mid-height hole and the 1" vents? Seems the negative dihedral when inverted would empty the inside bay pretty quickly without remedy. Please let me know what you've done. Much thanks.
Post Script Confession - Don't know why I opted for the flop tube other than it gives the option for such related flight/may help resale in the future. Probably a case of the dumb-a$$ on my part. Certainly not the first time.
