BTW, do any homebuilts use easily-sheared tip-tanks (like some Cessnas and
Lears do)?


Easily sheared Cessna tip tanks, like on a twin? Don't think the
accidents show that those shear... what's your source?

thanks

No source. I just heard that that's the way they were designed. I assume
they shear a lot more easily than the tanks in my wings do.
