Performance

The legendary RV is well known for its high performance, low cost, and great looks! Builders often choose the RV because of a desire to use the aircraft for extensive travel around the country, and it's a great airplane for that mission. Extended Range Fuel Tanks promote this mission by reducing the number of required fuel stops and increasing the time in the air. Pilots are able to change their flight planning logistics for long trips and improve the "net performance" of the airplane.

Benefits of "ER" Tanks

	SPEED... Sometimes the slower plane gets there FIRST ! Arrive sooner: Longer range and endurance helps shorten your Estimated Time Enroute by avoiding a fuel stop, or two. Improves overall mission performance of airplane.
	Safety... Increase "personal" VFR or IFR minimum fuel reserves: Extra fuel on board allows pushing up VFR minimums to 45 minutes or IFR minimums to 1 hour and STILL have more fuel to fly further.
	Economy... Buy fuel at best prices: Avoid expensive refueling on medium range hops by carrying enough fuel to go out and back. Refuel at home base or where ever the best price is.
	Value... Add value to your airplane: By improving the mission capabilities of the airplane, ER Tanks, like a high-quality IFR panel, increase your ariplane's market value.
