That was Bob Carlson's idea. Instead of 75 gallons of water in my Nimbus 2C
wings, he asked, how about Jet-A? Instead of dumping ballast when running
out of altitude and ideas, burn it in the jet engines and come home. The N2
could cruise at over 100mph for 7.5 hours using Bob's twin jets.

Unfortunately, that 75 Gallons of Jet-A would cost $250 today.

$250 for 12000 km flying? still sounds cheap!
I hate to throw spanners, but doesnt a micro turboprop fit the bill for us? Nothing I know of available, but.......
