So what happens now? Does the homeowner sue
the pilot or the plane owner? Can they?


The injured will sue the aircraft manufacturer and the airport, because they
have more money. The manufacturer and airport will pay a settlement, the cost
of which they will pass on to you in the form of fees and premimums. The
injured will end up rich, the pilot will lose his license and his airplane,
and possibly his home if he is sued as well. A call will go up for closure of
the airport and new restrictions on pilots.


Well I'd never design an a/c like the 310. By putting
the fuel in the wing tips increases the angular moment,
(like a bar-bell), making spin recovery tough.
I'd likely fatten up the wing root and put the tanks there.
