Default Piston single research

Note a book but...

http://www.risingup.com/planespecs/


Just remember (as has been noted here on past occasions) that the data in
this webpage is often laughably inaccurate.

The page on the Pathfinder, for example, lists a "62 gallon" fuel capacity.
The correct answer is either 50 (without tip tanks; although I don't believe
any were built *without* tip tanks, but I could be wrong) or 84 gallons with
tip tanks.

When they get basic stuff like that wrong, I tend to lose faith in the rest
of the data.

You are correct. I just looked at my aircraft and it lists 42 gal. I
believe it is 39 with 1.5 unusable each wing.
