Default RE: Pattern Plane Design Considerations


ORIGINAL: patternflyer1

So I have had the idea of mounting a fuel tank in my E plane and adding 16 to 20 ounces of fuel. It's gotta be legal right?
I may implement this in a future project when I get a little lighter. May even bring it to the nats.. That'll be interesting to hear what they have to say. LOL
One thing I learned attending my first Nat’s this past summer is that the rules are not always black and white (even when they are clearly written!) One must also consider the intent or spirit under which the rule was created.

Interesting proposal, but I don’t think that would fly…wrong kind of fuel for your powerplant of choice!
