Sorry oppose I must disagree.

Any airplane that you cannot fill the tank up sitting on its gear and supposedly designed for an inverted engine, and have the fuel come flowing out the venturi is indeed a design flaw and very poorly done.

I don,t care who's name is on the label, cheezy no name arfs or the majors, there are plenty of examples of both.

This is the beginners forum lets keep this in context the reccomendation to start the airplane upside down, is dangerous and only just looking for trouble especially with folks that are relitively inexperianced. They will not even be able to sit the thing down while running without a makeshift stand or have someone hold it while some one else starts..

Fix the Problem Lower the Tank!
