Default RE: Proper Mounting of a Fuel Tank

Being a metal wedge tank, the feed line is in the wedge half way up the tank so the engine can only use up half the fuel with the model sitting on the ground. Fill the tank, start the engine and then tip the model vertical on its outboard wingtip and it'll empty the tank. In flight, the wedge is effectively the bottom of the tank.
