Hi Everyone!! Long time lurker, finally registered.

I am at the stage of designing fuel. My skybolt was purchased with the main 29+/- gal tank with no baffles, should I make a header tank?
Is the main tank sufficient for akro at 29 gallons?
My plan is to have the Skybolt just for akro.
Should I install 9 gal wing tank for takeoff and flight to the practice area?
How long can I fly akro with the main tank?

Hopefully someone with this combination can chime in.


Thanks!!
