Hi group:

a previous post stated....

1) Fuel Capacity in the wings is 57 per side = (114 total)=20 and a belly tank is available for an additional 28 for a total of 142=20 gal. The belly tank conforms well to the design of the plane = and is=20 hard to notice unless you have a non-turbine to compare it with so drag = may well=20 be minimal. I am told a belly tank of 40 gal is in the=20 works.

I have a couple questions regarding the above referenced = post. =20 Hopefully someone may have some additional info on the subject

1. I thought the Lancair factory belly tank was 10 gal and = not=20 28. Is this 28 gal tank something new?

2. Will the 40 gal belly tank be a header/sump tank = (whatever=20 the correct term may be) like the current belly tank? This = tank is=20 fed by both wings and it is this belly tank that feeds the = engine, not=20 the wing tanks. I was told this type of design was = required on=20 certified turbine aircraft. This would mean the last 40 gallons = onboard=20 would be on the bottom of the fuselage.
