Did they come with it? As I remember they would have made you the heaviest L4P known? Actually they do still exist and they have room for a radar antenna in the front. They would not have made it the heaviest - they are only 10 gallons. ...but they might have made it the slowest. They have an uncanny resemblance to the original A-bomb. I didn't know they were only 10 gals. but they were Fat Alberts for sure. They could hold lots of ICE though. Radar?? I should get them back from Jack. In case I need to land at PAO I can drop one on each levy to give me a little more runout area. speaking of, is it fair to surmise that you have some weight limits for getting in and out of there in the IVP? (of course there is always the Rossi way - "Who toll you you needa balanced field length?") I have been in there several times with my 4P with no problems. 95 kts. on approach, land close to the end, use lots of brakes and go to the end, hopefully slow. 2500 ft. Derek Hine flys his L4P in and out all the time. Of Course, Rossi has the answer with the B-200's and B-350, don't do it full.
