What for? crossing large water bodies which to date have not been accomplished. Thus, while the system has been tested during the fly off period; it hs never been used in normal use. Why carry an extra toen gallons of fuel weighing 65 lbs that you never use? 43 gallons of fuel is plenty of fuel for traveling around the country. Forget it and get into the air 100 hours earlier.
