      Mike,
      
      What size baggage compartment do you have?  
      
      Thanks,
      
      Barry
      
      PS  I have flown the Yak-50 (from CA to OSH, in fact) with drop tanks and it costs
      about 7 knots.  However, considering it gets you an extra 1.5 hrs. of range,
      it's an advantage in cross country flying.

       Funny how nobody seems to address the engineering/stress details when talking
      about hanging X amount of fuel/weight on an aircraft that wasn't designed for
      it.? If you have ever seen the Nanchang Haiyan C, which I have, you will see that
      the Chinese hung their pesticide tanks under the fuselage/wing area not on
      the outboard wings.? They also beefed up the entire wing structure to handle
      this extra weight.? 
      
      Just what does a hard landing do with say an extra 150 pounds hanging out on that
      arm?? Or too many G's in turbulence?? Inquiring minds want to know!

      Hey all!
      
      There is a picture on the RPA website of a CJ with a pair of droptank-like 
      containers mounted under the wings.  From the address attached to the photo I'm
      
      assuming it's a Kiwi-based machine and I was wondering if anyone out there has
      
      any further info on them.
      
      I'm not interested in them as fuel tanks (though the option wouldn't be bad) but
      
      rather as cargo space as the area I have behind the rear seat gets filled up 
      rather quickly.. especially at Oshkosh!
      
      Thanks!
      
      Mike Kirk
