proto is an unknown quantity at this point
Hy folks

I calculated the whole thing and I found that the one-engine operation brings you 15% longer range.

Instead 2 engine producing twice 33% PWR, you fly with the rear one with 66% PWR. It works! 22 versus 26 gal !

Actually, we have to replace a wing-boot, so I can't check it in flight, but there are numbers...

With that trick you can fly up to 1500NM with the 128 gal. tanks! Sounds good!?

All is legal - the only problem is that the TBO-time is also running on the feathered engine. This procedure you can apply just for very long ferry-flights with no additional tanks.

Calculate and try !
