Nah, it isn't the weight. It is the less than 5 gallons of "fuel" that is
the problem.


5 gallons of "fuel" is 20 pints.

A carefully conducted scientific test established that my "fuel"
capacity is considerably less than 5 gallons. Witness were divided
whether I stalled and spun or entered a spiral dive. I only rememember
a very unusual attitude before I crashed into the ground.

Further tests with alternate "fuels" were cancelled.
