Should reduce profile, provide cleaner air for the prop and an open air feel to the craft. Has anyone gone this direction with the Mk 3?

Increased fuel capacity from 10 to 20 gallons negligible affect on c.g. double the range.

From: "mojaveclimber" Air-Tech sells a 10 gallon tank, one can replace the 5 gallon tanks with the larger tanks.

Insert one end into the fuel tank and the pump nozzle the other, fill tank, repeat for tank 2, stow hose behind seat for next refuel. Very light and space efficient.
