ok, my useless observation of the day.
===========================

I don't know where the tanks are for the midcabin.

Not to hijack the original thread, but it seems the corporate thinking was to maximize the available space in the original express based design when they introduced the mid cabin.

The express has a tremendous amount of wasted space beneath the cockpit floor - outboard of the center lazarette and single fuel tank.

I have a genny fuel tank on one side of mine, but it's only 17 gallons. these spaces are great for storing various items like extra electric cords, hoses, props, etc but tyou have to crawl down the lazarette to get there.

I've entertained the idea of putting in a large hatch access, but this is way, way down on th elist of things to do.

Sorry about the hijack, but I couldn't resist.
