Long range tank update

“Good afternoon,

We are making progress with the STC/PMA process. Hopefully, kit production will begin later this year. As you might imagine, dealing with the FAA is a process to say the least. “

Mike,

Tell us more…

Remind us where we are on this project, as if we have the average memory of an ordinary 109year old Mooniac…

Best regards,

Jose sold STC to Maxwell.  They filed with FAA last year.  Waiting on FAA to approve STC transfer which based on email I got is later this year.   Seems a long time to transfer a piece paper…..

They have to get PMA approval to manufacture the parts needed for the STC.

I hope that they’re going to take time to re-engineer the fuel drains.

They have a DER who is solving that problem for them prior to PMA.  The only issue to start installs is the STC from my understanding.

can you tell us more about how big the tanks are and for what planes?  If its in another thread I missed it

If you have speed brakes, they add 15 gallons to each side.

I don't remember the number without speed brakes, but seem to recall about (corrected) 18 per side.

Jose Monroy made them for M20C all the way to M20TN. This sheet is obviously old pricing but provides a few details:
