Since almost all were about extra tanks in the wings, is anyone out there aware of extra tanks on the baggage compartment? Builders who done it, or after-market kit?

Many aircraft have added baggage compartment tanks, either ridgid or bladder, that could be teed into one of the main tanks with a wobble pump or electric pump.

The tanks are separate and you transfer into the mains. It's a big job, but it works well.

Putting additional weight out at the tips of the wings will change spin / roll characteristics. Make sure who ever is supplying the tanks will verify spin testing has been performed for the additional mass / moment arms involved. But then you are the manufacturer and you own that verification.
