Fuselage aux fuel tanks in Monocoupes

The original N2064 had a 30 gallon fuel tank installed above the baggage compartment in 1939, was later removed.  Woody Edmundson installed a 14.5 gallon aux tank behind the baggage compartment in N36Y.  The installation in N36Y was used as data for later installations in N2347 and N101H.  Probably N546W but I don’t know for sure on that one.  Also used for D-145 NC11733, Model 90A NC11793 and NC38922

Don Schmidt and NC18642

 The following pictures were posted on the Monocoupe Aircraft Facebook Group by Don Schmidt's daughter, Christina.  Don restored and clipped Monocoupe 110 NC18642 while based at Camarillo, CA.  After flying NC18642 he had a gear leg brake on roll out and had to rebuild the ship again.  NC18642 is now on display at the museum at Creve Coeur airport.
