Post by P40 Master »

Is it possible for the drop tanks to be used on the civilian mustang, think i might want a extra bit of range

Sorry, no. There has been discussion of this before (of course) and as I understand it, in the real world in a civilian airplane if you carry "drop" tanks they can't actually be droppable, so you incur a permanent drag penalty.

You can still go 1,300 nautical miles on your 269 gallons, and how long do you want to stay up at a time anyway? :D
