Oi JC
Já deu pra ver que continua tudo jóia com você!!
My idea of having extra tanks was not to extend flight duration (I entirely
agree with you about the cockpit toilet impossibility), but to be less
dependant on refuelling. Inside of Portugal there's obviously no problem,
but I plan to fly to Africa, and it is very difficult to find frequent and
reliable fuel over there. Even in Europe, mostly in the South, we can
encounter several fuel related problems, from high prices and weekend fuel
stations' closures, to difficulties on the methods of payment for fuel.
Adding to all those reasons, my aircraft has another fuel related
specificity, which is the engine, an Eggenfellner Subaru. This engine, as
you can imagine, prefers to drink auto gas, which is still very rare to find
in our airports.
Um abraço e bons voos
Carlos
P.S. - um problema de saúde, felizmente já quase completamente ultrapassado,
impediu-me de concluir a construção do meu RV-9A. Espero que em 2008 já
possa ser o ano do "first flight"
