There seems to be a lot of concern about having so much fuel capacity that the flight will be so lengthy that the pilot's bladder capacity will be exceeded. Pilots & aircraft manufacturers solved this problem in the early days of aviation and I'm astonished that some members of the KR community are apparently oblivious of this aspect of aviation history. For situations where pilot or passenger bladder capacity is exceeded or about to be exceeded, there is a nifty thing called a "bladder tank". These tanks can be either permanently installed or temporarily installed.
>From Wikipedia: > "Many high-performance light aircraft, helicopters and some smaller turboprop aircraft use bladder tanks." Now you know! You can buy them ready to go or we can build them ourselves. Naturally we would want to build our own bladder tanks. I don't have one and must confess I've had to make occasional emergency descents to strange airports whose residents were startled to see my tiny plane appearing unexpectedly out of the blue at high speed only to disappear into the bushes. Putting in a bladder tank has been on my to-do list since the beginning but it has so far not become enough of a critical issue to actually do it.
