X-Cub Perf. Mod v1.5 Ghost Fuel Tank

I was doing a flight in the X-Cub with the v1.5 performance mod, and pulled up my fuel to see if I needed to switch tanks. What I found is attached.

Needless to say, I was a little curious as to what the heck was going on. So after I landed, I opened up the flight model cfg file in both the stock package and the mod, and sure enough, there was a third tank with coordinates that would have put 25 gallons of fuel right in the passenger’s lap. I double-checked the Carbon Crafters sales configuration page, and there is no option for a third tank. I then copied the parameters from all the other unused tanks in the cfg file and applied them to the Left Aux line, checked the sim, and all is well again. While I was there, I also increased the steering angle from 30° to 70°, which will make ground maneuvering MUCH nicer.

I just re-read their page, and they state that it's a bladder tank to extend the range. Maybe I'm wrong, but unless I see it on the Cub Crafters page as an option and the tank selector gets modified, I'm sticking with two tanks. Version 1.6.6 still has it.
