I Notice there are long range tanks available for the X-air falcon

?

How are these mounted to the aircraft? I see it sits on the fuse tube but was wondering how it was attached and if it is easy to add and remove.

?

The reason is in the UK we would not be allowed to permanently fit such a thing due to weight but I was toying with using one on a temporary basis for long distance solo? flying trips away and then removing it at the end of each trip.

?

Is that practical? or is it a whole load of work to fit in.

?

How do they plumb into the fuel system? Its it just a tube down into the tank with a fuel tap and just reliant on gravity ?

?

PS “Is this list still alive “ – yes, its very much alive. Not sure about others but I haven't broken anything for ages so have had no reason to post. X-airs are very reliable and easy to fix which results in much lower levels of forum posts. If? you want a very active forum, buy a Jabiru ;o)? I looked at Jabs when buying but I'm sooooo glad I bought a 912 Xair Falcon. I recently spent a week flying touring in eastern England, camping under the wing.... faaaantastic. I'm planning another week away just as soon as its tops raining :o)
