While I agree with the sentiment of your post, since we smartasses tend to flock together.........
.......I'm pretty sure he meant the SUMMARIES were logical and consistent, I.E., Mr. Wrights Cliffs Notes version a few posts above.....
(If I totally missed YOU being a smartass with your reply, disregard this entire post....)

I did glance over several summaries....they seem logical and consistent. cliffs notes version: Cirrus jet is an underpowered, over-compromised design with many shortcomings, something a "real jet pilot" would never touch. And it is going to sell like hotcakes at an EAA breakfast.
I meant the summaries (throughout the 372 pages) are logical and consistent. I don't know why he cut the first part of my quote off. Sounds like a trouble maker.

There are a number of trouble makers on this forum. A few examples: Jason C. like to throw in bomb shells of thought which a lot of people are not ready for. Mike C. likes to over analyze everything from an engineering perspective and assumes all people are just as rational. Adam S. thinks the world should go electric so he can have cheap avgas. Michael P. thinks anything smaller then the PC12 is a waste of time. And the only real car is a Tesla. I am sure there is more...  Tim (the nice sweet, innocent guy in the corner)

Now that is a pretty accurate summary, based on forum posts........except for that sign-off statement....

Now listen up buttercup!!!!! I still have my Mooney (love that airplane) and have a Suburban (no frigging Lyft/Uber here) now in the mountains......... but........ PC12 is still what is needed for hauling my litter SAFELY and by golly, Tesla is still the finest ride on the planet........ carry on......

Keep left/right fuel load in balance to the point roll trim is not required. 2 minutes could be 15 lbs of fuel. 15 lbs is enough that I think one will notice in the trim, though it would not be overly strong. Easiest solution is to add a second engine to draw fuel evenly from both tanks. :-) Mike C.

True but you'd have to mount it on the belly or on top of the other one.....

In all seriousness, seems like the wing tanks should be pressurized off bleed air and feed a smaller center tank that's always full. the engine would draw fuel only from the center tank. No switching and fairly automatic.
