Let's Fly Longer with our S5, Wilfrid Rouff (France). We were complaining not to have enough fuel autonomy in our S5 and
made an extension to our wing tank starting with the original. The pictures show how.
We had to undo one wing to slide it in. The circular hole on top is there to allow us to apply the final internal coating. A deflector was added inside to avoid too sudden a flow of fuel from one side to the other. The bigger tank holds about 40-44 litres. With the back seat tank we will have around 60 litres i.e. approx. 40 Lb or18 kg extra instead of normal 30/36 litres.
N.B. Our pilot is a small guy so when full we can avoid exceeding max. allowed take-off weight.
