failing memory
 
{snip by webmaster, remainder of message in Door Support thread} the extra wing suppose to increase useful load 400 lbs. Only downside is it will not fit in a 40 foot t hanger. wingspan 44 foot. J

But the 400 lb gross weight increase is only half a blessing - the landing weight remains unchanged. This means in my model, I'd have to burn off 635 lbs (~106 gallons) of fuel before I could land (legally). This might also explain why Owen offers a fuel jettison option.

fuel
 
only time i fill is long range or cheap fuel. this mod pays for itself if you have long range mission or place to tank up cheaply. its a handful fully loaded. J
