2 jerry cans in the baggage area, with a siphon tube run to the third
position on the fuel selector would do... dirt cheap, easy, no drag,
probably no more dangerous than modifying a proven airframe design (boy, is
that likely to stir the pot). Just burn the in-cockpit fuel first, then
switch to mains.
My airplane has always held more fuel than my bladder could hold excitement.
Enough trolling for one day... ;-)

| Subject: | Drop tank - how about dropping practice bombs? |
Why would one punch the tank off? To go into battle? Certainly looks cool
=2C but if one were to drop something=2C wouldn't practice bombs (e.g.=2C c
andy (or pumpkin) filled 1 litter bottles with fins (flour would cause a sc
are)) be more helpful? If anyone has already engineered a release mechanis
m=2C contact me off-line.
Whoops=2C got to go...TSA is already at my door......

I have a set of Jon Johanson's RV tip tanks that I have decided not to
install, in case any one's interested.

Just uploaded some photos to the SoCal RV List demonstrating a simple way to
vacuum bag small composite pieces using a Food Saver. Not anything new, but a
simple and handy way to get great results with working with composites. Looks
like the last two photos are in the incorrect order, but you get the idea.

A guy here had some sort of cheap gas can as his fuel tank. It was
somewhere in the
front of the cockpit..possibly in front of the rudder pedals but I
forget.
One evening he had some sort of problem, made a turn back to the
airport, hit
a utility pole and was engulfed in flames. Life support was removed a
few days
later.
