| may is a lot more friendly for VFR.  maybe 
I'll put my little ferry tank(18gal) in and try another non-stop to TX.  
flew portland to just outside Dallas once, 11 hrs. non-stop(220mph @ 
15,000' ground speeds over Rockies for a while).  built a 55gal ferry tank 
for a VFR coast-to-coast attempt(Astoria, OR to Kittyhawk, NC), but got sick, 
and haven't given it much thought since.  I might have my DIS/Weber carb 
renesis running by then.    kevin |
