Default RE: Any comments on this plane?

I would second what Campy has posted. In addition stuffing a 10 ounce tank in that airplane would be problamatical at best even if you get it in (this made difficult by the fact it would require you to cut away most of the instrument panel area and possibly still not get it high enough for proper needlespraybar/tank height relationship).

Most of the time when oversized tanks are used and the proper height relationship is ignored those little venturi's and muffler pressure of the small engines is hard pressed to deliver the entire capacity of the tank. This frequently results in flameouts with plenty of fuel still aboard.
