The Puerto Rico Flyers
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
- Leonardo da Vinci
During 2009 we increased the fuel capacity from 52 to 92 gallons by opening the bay behind the main spar. We put in a gravity fed cross feed and closed it up. The fuel arm changed slightly but remained well within the flight envelope. This was one of the most important modifications in order to do very long range flights.
