tip tanks

Barry, They've got to be worth something at resale, they cost something! Certainly the mod that adds gross weight would be of value. They also serve as part of a STOL kit, so there's value added from several directions.
I'll try to find the shop that does tip tanks with a gross weight increase; in the mean time, the shop is on the Nashville airport (BNA) and specilaizes in 337 mods. The mod costs $20k.
They really increase your range, 39 gallons is 1.3 hours in the P337, almost 2 more hours in a non-turbo. Carrying 12 gallons per side above a given gross weight isn't an issue, just two more tanks to put gas in when you fill up.......
