Default RE: Which large hawk?

The earlier Big Hawk models have different fuel tanks. Maybe yours is an early one and those were bigger

The mod was made, to allow to install turbine in a forward position and avoid adding too much nose weight

Compare the one in my previosly pic and the ones I have attached from another plane: Maybe Del Gato is an early one as well, if you fly 7min. Can you or Anton can make a comment why was this mod made, but I don't feel comfortable with only one of these tanks using a P160.

Last pic shows a New fuel tank and intake mod with a second fuel tank that SM says it is not available (don't seem to affect CG that much. Seems the better setup, but where to find this tank??????

Regards

Nuno
