I've had two Cessna 310s and I can tell you that the wing tanks hold 50 gallons each side and one day I was filling up at the airport. I only had 10 gals in each tank. I didn't have my key to get in the hanger so that I could sisiphon from one and put some in the other. There was nobody at the air

Yep. I figured if this thought is rolling around my head, I should answer
some fundamental questions before I start building.
I weigh just over 140, so I save some weight there. I could cut more
weight in the wings by using CF, and maybe 30 lbs in the n

rn doesn't affect CG inflight.
You will need extra baggage for trans-oceanic flight. And nav electronics.
