Title: Mini Max wing tanks
Post by: Isotope on October 24, 2026, 11:05:17 PM

Mini Max sells pre fabbed wing tanks. Arnt mini max wing construction the same? Could be a alternative to building your own if you wanted to fork out the money.

That may be true, unless you're building a U/L.  One is still limited to 5 gal. of gas, and those tanks are rated for 13/pair, so the fuel storage is too large for an ultralight.
It would be nice if they publicized the dimensions.

I used the Mini Max tanks. They fit perfectly between the ribs and holds 5 gallons.
