If memory serves, the Beech Debonair had "tuna tanks" as an option. These were bulbous wingtip tanks that held about 20 gallons. Has anyone investigated such an option on Lancairs? Issues which would be of interest are structure, aerodynamics and human bladder capacity. Of course transoceanic flyers would be interested....Ted Noel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
