Default water capacity

Hey guys I wanted to let you know I have an 84" scratch sorta CL-415 that is powered by 2 .45's turning 11x5 props that will scoop up one gallon ! Yes you can tell when it is full but it climbs out as well as a full scale a/c could. The gallon has been measured very carefully, it really puts a nice wet area on the ground if it is low enough and slow enough. I even once put out a candle on the runway at our field. The tank can be filled up on dry land when the gear is bolted on.
