I wasn't doing this. I was merely stating that the Diamond only carries 41
gal of fuel, when having more fuel vs. payload tradeoffs can be useful. See
also the above.

I have no problem flying 4, 5, 6, or even 8 hour legs, when I am flying
alone on a trip. I will probably get a Mooney 231/252 with extended range
tanks for my next airplane.

PS, I can't fit in the DA40, anyway, as my knees hit the bottom of the
instrument panel. Too bad, because they're nice flying airplanes.
