Okay; taking that idea one step further, how about a relief tube piped to
each of those tanks under the wings? Extended human element range! You
bet, as long as the tanks are below the level of your -er- waste outlet.
Hey, we could start a whole new thread on this ("is an equalizer tube
between the two waste tanks needed? Should the tanks be vented? Are there
any RV waste dumps on any airport ramp you've seen? Should you make the
tanks jettisonable in case of emergency? Would you install quantity
indicators on the tanks?"). The list goes on and on, but suffice it to say
that if you ride in a KR for a couple of hours, you'll be ready to stop and
stretch your legs awhile and forget about endurance flying, unless you're a
Dick Rutan type by nature.
