I kno= w a lot of people think it's cool to be able to say a plane flies with full t= anks and full seats but IMO if pilot + fuel doesn't bring you to gross the t= anks are too small.  

The first time I saw an ES and= how big the wings are I thought "Wow, wouldn't it be neat to fill those win= gs with fuel and make a super long range machine."

= I can imagine engineering considerations but I wonder if anyone knows for su= re.
