Bladder Buster Tanks
Several people asked about the tip tanks on our RV-6A at Sun 'n Fun. They are aluminum, they conform exactly to the normal airfoil, and they extend the wing 9 inches on each side which should help carry the extra load but they eliminate the aerobatic capability. I bought them from the company owner Farn Reed in 1996. I do not know if they are still available but ours provide 17 more gallons (55 total on the airplane) and they have served us very well. The address I have from the old invoice is:
"Bladder Buster Tanks"
Reed Mfg
315 Lathrop Lane
Grants Pass, OR 97526
At that time the total cost was $1,950
