There are two sides to this story. The first is the uniformed FAA
inspector that oversteps his bounds because, as Dennis says, they
either don't understand the regs themselves (ever say "Part 43" to an
inspector and watch the reaction? Think deer in headlights....), or
has some personal agenda, or both. The second is the "consumer" who
lets the FAA go unchecked. Day VFR limitations for an airplane that
is both equipped and capable of night/IFR is both wholly unacceptable
using the regs as your guideline, and allows others to have to go
through the same battle because a precedent has been set. This is
how the ball rolls down hill and screws things up for everyone. It
took YEARS of work and pro bono attorney time to overturn the onerous
limitations being set by a local FSDO on experimental exhibition
aircraft. Guess what? The precedent was set by a FSDO 800 miles
away. Don't think for a moment that just because each FSDO is
different that they don't use precedents set by others to justify
their inappropriate interpretations.
It is up to each of us in the warbird community to band together,
know the regs, and stand firm against ANYTHING that limits our
ability to operate our aircraft in a safe and reasonable manner.
Your actions (or lack thereof) with your local FSDO effect EVERYONE
in the warbird community.
Cheers,
Barry

Guys, have you ever tried to remove the tanks from the aircraft?
There is a limit on tank size due to the geometry of getting the
tanks in and out. There is a TON more room in there for more fuel,
but no practical way to take advantage of the size without MAJOR
modifications.
On a separate note, we are just a few weeks away from completing our
fuel tank modification for the CJ-6. It will net 30 gallons per
side, is aluminum, will require only minor reinforcement to existing
structure, NO modification to the vent system, is designed by DoD
contracted and former Boeing engineers, will be less $$$ per gallon
than any other system available, and take less than a week to
install. Will have final pricing and pictures available shortly....

Barry,
Are you referring to this tank for the 50 also?
