Has anyone tried to Extend the Fuel tank by just moving continuing it a few more ribs/cells further out on the wing?
I Know the Aluminum that comes form Vans would need to be bigger I am not sure how much or if they would send it, but I would really like to have a total fuel of around 90 to 100 Gallons for my-10. I am looking to do some very Long and adventurous flying when complete to included the Atlantic, to England. Alaska, and plenty of other Area's where a 1200 mile range or better would give me more of a safety margin then the 800-1000 mile range that the 60 gallons give me.
I have looked at the tip tanks that give you the extra 15 Gallons, but I would much rather just have 2 larger wing tanks....
It doesn't looking like it should be too overcomplicated to do....
But I want to know if anyone has tried it before I become a fuel tank Pioneer.
I DO NOT want fuel in the Fuselage AT ALL, so the Cargo bay, bulkhead tank Idea is Out.
Thanks for your thoughts.
SO in short, 90-100 Gallons total fuel in the wings, Anyone done it?
how?
