Aux fuel tanks

Post by Truckermatt85 »

Has anyone else ponder the idea of adding the auxiliary fuel tanks to the Comanche?

Hi.
The comanche in the hangar as the facilityy to add or remove tip tanks that gives the aircraft 90 gal total fuel , each tip holds 15 gal normal wing fuel tanks hold 30 gal in each wing , in a comanche write up i saw the tips where refered to as aux fuel tanks.
Scott of A2A owns a comanche 250 with tip tanks , and the A2A 250 is modelled on that aircraft , and as such is perfect .

There is possibility to install auxiliary fuel cells in the wings, holding 15 gallons each, into many Comanche 250ies.

I don't know if they can be installed if the tip tanks are also in place.

JL Osborne offers tip tanks for Comanche 250 aircraft with and without Aux wing tanks so I know you can get them. I’m not saying that Scott’s Comanche isn’t just perfect by itself I’m just thinking it would be nice to have 90 gallons in the wing plus 30 in the tips.

Of course I wouldn’t mind a 180 hp option either but that’s just me.
