Those belly tank things warbirds use are really cool. The ones you can release when you don't need them anymore?Diamond can figure out how to fit some auxiliary fuel tanks

With prepaid FedEx labels on them.
I wonder what the piston market would look like today if the DA50 was released 10 years ago. No question I would have purchased one instead of the SR22T I went to after the DA40. Now though I would take a 62 over a 50.
