[Aharon]

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

I have a question. How many pounds is the total weight of fullload of water or fire retardant for Flight Replicas DC-4 Firebomber please so that I can recreate the flight in most realistic manner? I want full load of water or fire retardant unless you tell me nobody ever does that for DC-4 firebomber in real life.

Thank you for any answer any of you might provide.
